This would only be required if you'd upgrade the userspace kernel
headers on this system to a version not matching the ones glibc was
built against - and this has never been considered a good idea
(it should work in theory, but not with our current header mess).

KLive users (a service by SUSE contractor Andrea Arcangeli that
gathers data about kernels from many users worldwide).
There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.
