Linux 1.0.0 had some backward compatibility with a sys_mount() which expected only 3 arguments, not 5. Would anyone care very much if this compatibility were to simply go away without warning in 2.3?
I'm sure there's someone out there with binaries that haven't been recompiled since some unspecified time before March 1994 (I can't be bothered to trawl through the Historic directory to find exactly when this change occurred), but it would be really nice to tidy this up.
Thanks.
