i'm fine with that as long as you can guarantee me that nobody will link
against libknotification.so, and thereby cause havoc when BC is broken between
minor releases of kde.
`ls -l /usr/lib/*[1-9].so` is pretty enlightening as well
so, what's the benefit you see so so.1, so.2? i just see a potential landmine
due to symlinking to .so and app devs making the mistake of linking to the
wrong thing ...
