=:o !

I'm not too eager at being awarded a price for the most ill-versioned library.

Back to the original query, I (still) think that 1 should be enough. If we ever
need more (tempting to break backward compat between releases for a second time
in a branch), let's close the branch (or our shop altogether ;-)). Remember, we
are expected to never ever do that at all! And remember, not too long ago we've
been shipping with a soname of libnetsnmp*.so.5 for the whole of 5.x!
