@darkbasic > How is this patch supposed to work? If `configure` detects you trying to build against a kernel newer than the `Linux-Maximum` version declared in `META`, it will abort...

I will say, if we do land this patch and vendor distributions simply add `--disable-supported-linux-version-check` and move on with life, I will be far more inclined to either ignore bug...

@darkbasic I'm confused. That build _does_ have this patch - they've taken the patch, and then not used the option? I don't even know why you would.

Ok, I'm sensing confusion about the intent of this change. Maybe that's me confused, or maybe I'm doing fine but haven't explained it properly. So I'll try explaining again, and...

> Thanks for explaining. Yes this is exactly the sort of idea. In that approach it is nice and clear where supported ends and experimental starts, and it's also opt-in...

@Gendra13 > How much are the distribution vendors even aware of the fact that there is a maximum supported kernel version and that there might be still serious issues left,...

@tonyhutter > Also, is this still "Draft" or are you ready for it to be approved? Hold off for the moment, I'm going to try [a different approach](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/15986#issuecomment-2024162981) first and...

Alright, here's a rework based on the discussion: - `META` now has `Linux-Maximum-Experimental: 6.9` - `Linux-Maximum:` is now enforced, unless configure is run with... - `--enable-linux-experimental`, then `Linux-Maximum-Experimental:` is enforced...

@markjdb thanks for this. Nothing jumping out at me, but when I did a code read a couple of days ago I didn't go through that codepath, so it gives...
