In practice, it is terrible.  Being tied to the spec means lagging.  There are tons of improvements and updates in the development version that have not been released yet due to my inability to move on this.  It's time to cut it loose, and I want to ensure there is in no way any more implied relationship between the two.

eh, I'd rather go for libLAS 3.0 :)
