From 8a5c82429c122161d4955f34eecefe799ede3f47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alison Schofield Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 19:40:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs: ABI: make the KernelVersion field optional The KernelVersion field has limited practical value. Git history provides more accurate tracking of when features were introduced and target kernel versions often change during development and merge. Label it optional.
