That's some time before Apache 2.2 was released. Effectively the
discussion happened at a completely separate time to the release of an
Apache that triggered the ABI change. Perhaps I should have paid more
attention, but this was an inadvertant ABI change as far as I'm
concerned. I still think it was a mistake, and I think we should fix
it, just like any other inadvertant bug.

If you are totally opposed to changing the current default SONAME, how
about a configure option to do it?
