Oh, just one thing came to my mind: What should packagers do with it? If
its packaged you'll have to care about BC at least as much as increasing
the library soversion each time a release of kdelibs including the
library breaks BC with a former release. If its not packaged than app
developers will have to fetch kdelibs sources, build them and install
them alongside their kdelibs packages, then try to link their tests
against it properly.
