+Things to consider regarding *versioning*.
+
+The provider and user of any interface need to agree about how to interpret the
+data being exchanged.  Internal-only interfaces can be changed easily, because
+you can change the provider and user at the same time.  Interfaces that are
+exposed externally require more attention, for obvious reasons.  To *change*
+interfaces means to either remove, or add, or modify an existing interface.
+Modify basically means to remove and then re-add a variant, re-using the former
+name/identifier.

+Bump the glibc SONAME to some point, or can do everything with symbol
