I didn't say that they would be proud of it, but sometimes you gotta
do gross things to keep binary compatibility.

If there were a boatload of other changes in this release, then it
wouldn't be a big deal.  If the only reason to bump the major rev was
for NETISO and NETNS stuff that was killed (which was sold as not
impacting anybody), then some allowances should be made.

I would have spoken sooner had all of this clicked sooner.
