I hope to make the next disk image versioned. There has been a lot of
resistance to going versioned due to deadlines. The amount of work is
immense; it requires rebuilding everything against the versioned
libraries. Build 15 gets everything into RPM format, there is now no
software installed that isn't in RPM form.
I expect we will turn on versioning, and switch to the newest binutils
at the same time.

No. If you install versioned libs on build 15, nothing will run.
Nothing. You would be better off rebuilding your app on build 15.
