Actually I understand his message to say the opposite. GLib 2.42 is API and ABI compatible with GLib 2.12, which means we are compatible with the LSB in that regard. Binaries that want to be LSB compatible need to limit themselves to the symbols from GLib 2.12 specified in the LSB. This is the same as for libjpeg-turbo. It is API and ABI compatible with libjpeg62. So software that was LSB compatible before will still be.
So there should be problem with us only shipping libjpeg-turbo. Emilio
