Hey, keeping SONAME and doing symbol version maps was my preferential
pick as well, but Lukas Slebodnik did not want to. Come on, is it
really _so much_ work to maintain a symbol version file? How many
symbols get added anyway?
Just give me a clear answer already. Will sssd address the issue,
or is it going to be a "f**k you" to downstream packagers?
You started this discussion about version dependency in ding-libs.
There is opportunity to be active and help us with testing and reviewing patch.
