https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D252245 --- Comment #4 from Kyle Evans <kevans@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Mikhail T. from comment #3) > The convention to NOT use explicit major library numbers is there for goo= d reasons - why should this case be an exception, I do not understand... This is explained in the rest of that very paragraph: > so that we can provide a consistent experience across all versions of Fre= eBSD, past and future, using a less-broken version of the library.
