This constant is not stable across OS versions, so it cannot be used in any backwards- or forwards- compatible way. It's typically used to size arrays in the kernel and in debugging utilities that are closely tied to the OS version. Since libc is ignorant about OS versions, we shouldn't even be defining it.

@asomers I am not sure to understand the rational here. lot of things are not stable across OS versions. do you want to deprecate them all ? |

@semarie Pretty much. libc's versioning model is basically "adding new stuff is ok; but don't change anything already defined". That's also more or less what glibc does. Right now, libc has no way to guarantee that |
