Only if you want to continue providing fixes for 2.6.11 and 2.6.12.
It would be nice if someone put together a source snapshot that
would work with those releases. But I'm not sure how to
make that available to some random person who is using it.

Personally, since no distro is providing support for ABI v2,
I would not bundle both ABIs together in one library.
