Comment:

 Yes NASTY if you don't plan to support it as a separate entity. It's just
 irresponsible in my book.

 The problem is that liblwgeom was private to PostGIS so versioning is very
 different for our purposes.  Our versioning simply means OUR public
 interface will never change within minor of PostGIS (which is the SQL
 interface) (not that something private to us (liblwgeom) will NEVER
 change). Now people rely on the version numbers of liblwgeom to mean
 something and abide by some saneness of numbering (e.g. the minor is
 stable). We're just not grown-up enough for that yet.
