 /*
+ * Version 2 capabilities worked fine, but the linux/capability.h file
+ * that accompanied their introduction encouraged their use without
+ * the necessary user-space source code changes. As such, we have
+ * created a version 3 with equivalent functionality to version 2, but
+ * with a header change to protect legacy source code from using
+ * version 2 when it wanted to use version 1. If your system has code
+ * that trips the following warning, it is using version 2 specific
+ * capabilities and may be doing so insecurely.
+ *
+ * The remedy is to either upgrade your version of libcap (to 2.10+,
+ * if the application is linked against it), or recompile your
+ * application with modern kernel headers and this warning will go
+ * away.
