Is this retroactive on all supported versions of Fedora? 20+? What about
EPEL 5, 6, 7?

It's neat to see reference to abi-compliance-checker (hint, I maintain it!)
but the link just points to the package. While it's not necessarily
difficult to use, I wouldn't quite call it intuitive either.

Should some basic steps be added there? Or perhaps a link to another wiki
page?

Thanks,
Richard
