After a lot of thinking, maybe a solution that allows for incompatible package updates without renames would be more useful. Something like: We uncouple the package names and ABI. The ABI will include the complete version, so every rebuild will change it. The package names can include just the upstream version, aka 6.1.1. This means: - Every module will be compatible always only with the exact version. - External modules needs rebuilds for every update of a image package. We already say: You need to reboot after kernel upgrade, because the ABI only provides compatibility from older modules to newer kernels. This would be now enforced by complete lack of compatibility. In the end this is what the RedHat world does AFAIK. They can install multiple versions of the same package at the same time, so you have just "kernel" installed in multiple versions.
