This is a way too bold statement. We *can* do that, we are software
distributors and we do this kind of stuff if we think this way the
software will better suite our distribution. If it breaks (guess what)
Felix we will patch it so that it won't break.
The majority of applications won't break. And if INRIA is going to adopt
the .byte/.native convention anyway, the few patches we will need to
introduce for that will vanish in next releases.

Amen.

I don't know, let me think: what about the buildd administrators when
the daemons are overloaded just before a release?
