My experience is the other way around. Binaries built on newer version of Linux doesn't work on older. But binaries built on older versions usually

Depends... statically linked binaries will probably always work on the latest version, dynamic link and then you've got yourself a 'this

So surely we can just offer a full history of statically linked binaries, problem solved?
