+# https://github.com/intel/llvm/pull/17442 changed the behavior of
+# ext_oneapi_can_compile to refer to whether a source-based kernel_bundle can
+# be used with compile rather than build. This makes the OpenCL kernel compiler
+# tests from the previous release fail as they expect that it returns true for
+# OpenCL-based kernel_bundles. The APIs are experimental, so this change in
+# behavior is allowed and is not considered an API/ABI break.
