What disagreement was there? (sorry didn't notice it)
AFAIK the patchkit does not change any user interfaces except for adding
a few numbers to one line of /proc/meminfo and a few other sysctls which seems
hardly like a big change
(and calling that a "API" would be making a mountain out of a molehill)
