We certainly should be bumping them all again closer to a 7.0-RELEASE, when the RELENG_7 is about to be created. If we bump some majors now, and break APIs later but still before a release (we are allowed to do it in -CURRENT), we would have to bump them again before a release, and because it's probably hard to track all changes we will unconditionally bump them all before a RELENG_7 is created. I'm not sure if bumping them now and having a gap later is a good or bad idea; just some point to consider. There is another options: having a build knob that will bump all shlib majors for those -CURRENT users that need it *right now*.
