A recent discussion on Fedora's devel list has brought to my attention

also wrt CLI (affecting scripts etc.).  It would seem prudent to stick
with the 6 series for the time being until the Linux distributions sort
this out.

It is the worst package as stability that I am aware...

It's definitely among the worst.  I do wonder if at least 6 will settle
down ABI-wise with 7 out, but given their history, who knows.
