Andy was complaining about experimental params going away: I haven't heard a single complaint about the downgrading issue. I think it's a nice to have, which is why I mentioned it. I also CC'd the two maintainers most likely to know if it *is* a current problem. And note that this code has been this way for over ten years!
No bug report, no cc:stable.
What if people were relying on detecting module parameters by the load failing? I'd rather find out when they upgrade to a new kernel instead of poisoning the old ones, too.
Cheers, Rusty.
