There should not be many AC users that run the latest versions of everything. I will keep the sorting of the syscalls as they are - no change required upstream. People who want new kernel or new glibc will then also need to update the other. DOT. POINT. END. :-) Kernel 2.6.23 will also require new aboot.... So many things.... Since online upgrading from AC3 to FC8axp will not be supported anyway (because of various reasons and now 2 more of them), I can live with that decision finally. Thx everyone...
