The consensus seems to be to just bump the SONAME. The next one will
definitively be "4" then? I would like to fix this in my packages
before I announce them for public testing, but this issue is the only
blocker to it.
Will there be a new bugfix release soon?
Thanks for your work and have a nice day!
