   @hubcio both were addressed in [this 
reply](https://github.com/apache/iggy/pull/3517#issuecomment-4779704356) on 
June 23, but let me re-summarize here for clarity.
   
   **Point 1 -- sketchy parsing / custom kernel:** Agreed the approach is 
fragile. A custom kernel >= 6.18 built without `IORING_SETUP_COOP_TASKRUN` 
support would pass the version check and still hit `EINVAL` at ring creation. 
The version check is a heuristic, not a guarantee.
   
   **Point 2 -- contribute to `io-uring` crate:** `IORING_SETUP_COOP_TASKRUN` 
is a *setup parameter* passed to `io_uring_setup()`, not an `IORING_FEAT_*` 
flag returned by `io_uring_get_probe()`. So `is_feature_*` does not apply here. 
The only reliable runtime probe is to attempt ring creation with the flag and 
check for `EINVAL` -- that logic lives inside compio's ring init, not in iggy.
   
   Given that, three paths forward:
   1. Keep the kernel version check (current PR) -- pragmatic, operators get a 
clear error
   2. Upstream a fallback into compio -- correct fix, but needs an external PR 
and release cycle
   3. Close this PR, hard-document 6.8+ as the minimum kernel requirement
   
   @numinnex already expressed a preference for not running on kernels < 6.8. 
Happy to go with whichever direction you and the team decide.
