This is exactly what happened on our PPC platforms, the bindings churned for a bit and have been stable now since 2.6.2x something. I'm hopefully seeing something similar on kirkwood. 3.7 bindings look nothing like 3.12 bindings, but the 3.12 bindings will run lightly patched 3.10 and onwards just fine, and there are no pending patches I've seen that would change that for 3.13.. To me, it is an advantage to DT that it does converge on something stable, while .c code always gets light churn, no matter where it is.
