But even in all those other threads, never had there been a decent
answer why it is good to have two incompatible libraries with the same
number. It can only cause hurt.

I still vote for bumping lib versions as soon as we do something that
cause them to be incompatible with the same versioned one in a release.
Having api churn in a lib version that is only available in -current
is much more acceptable that churning a lib that have the same version
as one in a release.
