    > OpenBSD doesn't have to care about compatibility as much

    FreeBSD did it in 2012 (for the 2014 release of 10.0?):

    * https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/8f77be2b4ce5e3...

    And has compat layers going back many releases:

    * https://www.freshports.org/misc/compat4x/

    * https://wiki.freebsd.org/BinaryCompatibility

    So newly (re-)compiled programs can take advantage of newer features, but old binaries continue to work.
