To Red Hat's "credit", they did not introduce this change in the 2.4.18 
kernels for Red Hat 7.3.  It was only for Red Hat 8.0 (and its betas), 
which also uses 2.4.18 kernels that they stopped exporting 
sys_call_list.

Another way to put it is that they made the change across "releases" of 
the kernel (in RPM speak), which you would normally think of as a much 
smaller interval than "versions"...
