Really? This puzzles me. You're not really supposed to make KBI changes in stable- otherwise stable isn't a stable place for vendor KOBJs. When you make KBI changes, independent of whether head or not, a revision bump is useful so that dependent code knows when it has to change. This change carries forward and backwards for compilation independent of which branch this is in.
