Compatibility is a very difficult issue to assess; even when having a
reference distribution, issues like the following arise:
- if the incompatibility is due to a bug in the reference
distribution, does it count?
- if an incompatibility is due to a difference in default $PATH,
does it count
There are many different ones I can think of.
