Well in the DRM case we don't worry about that too much, the external DRM git tree has all the compat code hidden away and I've got lots of version check macros, so one more won't make a difference, the in-tree version has none of the that stuff anyways.... Now it might break nvidia and ATI but that is all code that is in their "public" source... Dave.
