When are you going to break the ABI? After 7.0 is tagged and released? If you break the ABI before, you don't need or want to have the compat versions; the libraries have already been bumped in prep for release. I don't think we want to use symbol versioning as a crutch for -current users; the version definitions are meant for public releases only. -- DE
