Package: src:linux Severity: wishlist Currently we attempt to maintain the kernel module ABI within each stable release, and try to avoid ABI bumps within unstable other than for new upstream releases. Sometimes we decide that an ABI change can be ignored (i.e. we allow it to change withut bumping the ABI number) because it is not intended for use by out-of-tree modules, only for specific modules built from the kernel. However we do this reactively, rather than in advance. We could serve out-of-tree module users and packagers better if we implemented a blacklist or whitelist of unstable symbols and made modpost warn when they are used.
