Yep. I just read through RHEL releasenotes for a RHEL 7 workshop I will hold
for a customer… and noted that newer RHEL 7 kernels for example have device
mapper from Kernel 4.1 (while the kernel still says its a 3.10 one), XFS from
kernel this.that, including new incompat CRC disk format and the need to also
upgrade xfsprogs in lockstep, and this and that from kernel this.that and so
on. Frankenstein as an association comes to my mind, but I bet RHEL kernel
engineers know what they are doing.
