If this is the case, then the fallback strategy is really the only 
doable strategy for OSS support.  None of the other options can offer 
legacy support that some proprietary software customers will whine for.

The fallback strategy has the benefit of not effecting any Fedora/RHEL 
user by default, so is there any drawback in doing it?  OSS would simply 
NOT WORK by default which is absolutely fine.

OTOH, what are concrete examples of OSS apps that use mmap()?
