Kernel security update would break ABI

bring back memories from when I had a machine using Fedora Core 1.  Some 3rd
parties repository had dozen of kernel modules available to download. 
And every time there was a new kernel security update, they had to
quickly recompile all there publicly available module.  Last
December/January, there was 4 kernel update in 3 weeks, and here is
what Dag Wieers had to say about that pain for module maintainers:

It's a pain, but I think it's probably the only way to go; and it
seems the Redhat/Fedora users have been dealing with it for a while (I
guess it's still the same nowadays)
