We discussed this on IRC, and I'm going to drop this patch.

Ian.

18:00 <@andyhhp> I'm debating what to say there
18:01 <@Diziet> I thought of this since otherwise we're just setting ourselves 
                up to make a mistake.
18:01 <@andyhhp> I'm tempted to just leave it all alone.  That comment will go 
                 stale very quickly, and the general rule is applicable to 
                 other libs
18:01 <@Diziet> True
18:01 <@andyhhp> evidence suggests that almost all edits to the soname require 
                 a fixup...
18:01 <@Diziet> haha
18:01 <@Diziet> FE
18:01 <@andyhhp> it would be nice to do something better
18:02 <@andyhhp> and the "bump the soname proactively" is almost very nice for 
                 that.  My first thought was to suggest that we change to that 
                 as a default way of working

                 it comes to the release
18:02 <@Diziet> Mmmm
18:03 <@Diziet> OK, well, I'll drop my patch for now then if you don't feel 
                it's worth it.
18:03 <@Diziet> Thanks for the reviews, anyway.
