10 2.6.16+ means that it can be used in any cases when the kernel is newer
11 than 2.6.16. For example, you can use it on linux-4.14, just with
12 unnecessary backward compatibility code.
13
14 Besides, with the newest profile, kernel-3.2+, the ending kernel version
15 is not known. We will have to rename it when glibc jumps if the profile
16 is named with a version range.

19 Hope this addresses your concern.
