My experience is the other way around. Binaries built on newer version of
Linux doesn't work on older. But binaries built on older versions usually

Depends... statically linked binaries will probably always work on the
latest version, dynamic link and then you've got yourself a 'this
libstdc++v5 doesn't exist anymore' problem.
So surely we can just offer a full history of statically linked binaries, problem solved?
