And we should add a list of worms this may introduce.
Kernel should be compatible. But software development is never perfect (although it comes close).

Many packages encode linux version in info boxes or such. And they might
be wrong. I agree that I don't expect too many problems. But there might
be some cases where having the wrong value in an info box could slow
down solving issues.
