Bas, I'm not sure how to understand this.

Are you suggesting that we ONLY use the major, minor and patch version
numbers for the so-files and forget about the SOVERSION from now on?

If that is the case, personally I'm all for it since I've always found the
current/revision/age difficult (as is evident in several release candidates
in the past) but is that a common practice among project that base their
packages on CMake?
