um. Red Hat's release number went from 8 to 9 - that by itself is sufficient to
let you know that there will be binary compatibility issues. (In such releases,
there is usually a work around, or backward compatible libraries which can be
installed, but the fact remains, as and when the major number of the release
changes, applications, and libraries usually need a recompilation, and possibly
some tweaking.

   You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
   software that's available on time.  You can usually release software
   that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.
