Are there major changes in where config files are located in 4.0?  I
was just starting to get the hang of it.

Also, why do all these breakages occur?  If most programs are designed
to be modular and/or use pipes, they should be 'black boxes' and the
internals should be irrelevant, correct?  Also, if the program is
patched to work under current, does that mean it will *not* work under
stable anymore?  Or is it the *kernel* and other system modules that are
patched, rather than the problem program itself?
