The only reason you'd have for that post-it note is if you were running
some application that you; built yourself, obtained from a third party
vendor, general other or not part of the distributions repository.

For instance, I've had some linux ports of games break on me once after an
upgrade.  And I've even got a company gcc that does not work on
Debian/Ubuntu.  There's nothing wrong with binary compatibility, just that
they implemented a multi-arch directory structure, so everything is in a
different place to what the vanilla gcc expects.  ;)
