That depends on your terminology. Let's say:
2.2 supports ELF
3.0 has ELF by default, but an a.out kernel.
4.0 (and 3.1) have everything ELF, and require the new bootstrap in
order to load the kernel.
Everything should be backwards compatible: 4.0 can still run a.out,
and the new bootstrap should still load old kernels.
