I'm quite sure that won't change, ever. Linux, if it's compatible to
itself at all, has got "only" a source compatible API. You're somewhat
on a more save side if you're using symbol versioning, but if you force
a module to load (into a kernel of different version or even of
different configuration), you may loose. Right now or sometime later:)

That's what "tainting" was ment for:)
