I guess the part that's not so obvious is that Linux
desktop/distributions provide a very wide permutation of components
and configs used. While on a local (test) setup only a small/limited
set is available. Esp. on Android where things are _very_ tightly
coupled.
Obviously nobody likes when we have to carry kernel patches which
workaround "broken" userspace, but it's a kernel policy and we all
have to live with it. That's the main reason people are so
careful/pedantic when it comes to UABI. And as you can see even then
there are bits that we miss :'-(

Emil
