Gregory's Server@smolwaffle @growse ebpf doesn't entirely abstract you from kernel internals - you still need to deal with internal API and ABI changes, so there's still some work in supporting newer kernels. It just means you'll fail to work rather than taking the entire thing down with you.
@mjg59 @smolwaffle fair, and arguably the important bit.
When it comes to an agent that (typically) another group is foisting on a service, "working" is not a primary concern. "Not taking the box down" is much more significant:)
