what do you mean by 'safe' here? has no bugs? or doesnt barf on
incorrect code 2.95 used to accept?

2.96 is plenty different, unless redhat actively maintains it, and
merged the myriad changes that led to 3.0 into it.

i very much doubt the rawhide kernel get built with 2.96. when redhat7.0
came out, it came with two compilers, gcc (2.96) and kgcc, an older
version. why? because 2.96 couldn't compile the kernel at all, not to
mention the possible miscompilations...

anyone follows redhat in-house development and knows what's up with 2.96
nowdays? is kgcc still shipped with redhat7.1?
