There may be hidden problems in them, but the chance of that happening
is much much lower than the chance that they’re fine; most of these
exceptions would happen at packaging or test time, or produce an ICE,
and so cause a build to fail.
So I’d not explicitly worry about every package kullervo has built to
date, just keep this in the back of the head.

Of course! Different workloads cause different failure patterns to
emerge. Linux 3.2 has a much much higher strain on any hardware than
Linux 2.0 did. Or than Windows® 3.x did, for that matter, or OS/2.
I know of systems not capable of running any UNIX®-ish system that
run even Windows® 98 stable-ly(!).
