Does CONFIG_MODVERSIONS relevant to this discussion? CONFIG_MODVERSIONS Usually, modules have to be recompiled whenever you switch to a new kernel. Saying Y here makes it possible, and safe, to use the same modules even after compiling a new kernel; this requires the program

It's the Unix philosophy to give you enough rope to shoot yourself in the feet. I certainly do not object to it. I do believe in informed decisions - just telling people to 'use insmod -f, it works' without mentioning the risks is inappropriate. Did you (or anyone else) consider reverse
