I thought that some degree of compatibility was
expected. At the very least the newest version
of "tc" must work on _any_ kernel as least as
well as the version it replaces did.
I also though newer kernels should work older
version of iproute2, albeit without the features
added in the newer versions.
Are you saying this is not so?
