Yeah we could do that. In ideal case production and capture kernel will
be same. But yes, there can be cases where we may end up in older/newer
kernel scenario. My earlier versions had backward compatibility which I
broke in v3. I can fix that in v4. Thanks for catching it. Will also
update documentation mentioning working kernel combinations.
Thanks,
-Mahesh.
