why does linux-base-f7 exist if the binary compatibility is to a kernel too old to run it? (and how to change that?)

[Steve Franks]

But there are sites (such as this one:
http://www.linux.com/feature/53055) that talk about actually using
linux_base-fc8 (which I can't even find on 7.0rc1).  How is that
possible if the kernel is too old for it?
