I'm not a soname expert, but if we change sonames now, maybe we'll end
up bein incompatible for more time we wished to be....
It seems to me that this 'breakage' would only be fixed when upstream
would change the soname, and that does not happen everyday. *But* this
event could even be a problem, too, because our 'incompatible soname
just for transition' may be the same as the 'new one' from upstream...
so the incompatibility would have to be maintained longer...
Simply sucks. Am I wrong?
