Yes, please - and please share your source code changes as well (the
"compatibility ported back in").

Is your custom glibc packaged (deb and rpm)?

I guess your templates will also work on RHEL5'ish OpenVZ kernels (like
we have in Owl) since CentOS 6 templates work fine on those.  I'd test,
and would then be able to use some old machines (that are unlikely to
ever see a major host OS upgrade) for testing of new stuff on (almost)
Debian 10 and CentOS 8.
