Right, but it confuses people and I don't see any need for 
having different versionings.

He simply shouldn't. What should legitimate such an huge version 
jump if the ABI is untouched ? On an major jump, people expect
something totally new, which is incompatible with the previous 
version (maybe even on source level).
