An extreme case of this would be F29 going from the 4.X kernel to the 5.X kernel.
Note that this isn't *really* an extreme case — there's no bigger difference in that increase than from 4.19 to 4.20. Linus Torvalds just doesn't like big point release numbers.
But, on the other hand, even those point-release changes are much more aggressive than the carefully curated kabi promised by the RHEL kernel.
Oh, OK. It was just that the move broke both some older nVidia drivers as well as something in VirtualBox.
