Broken ABI in networkmanager-qt

Hi,
we decided to drop WiMAX support in nm-qt when it's compiled against NM 1.2.0,
but this seems to break binary compatibility when nm-qt was previously build
against older NM version. I didn't realize this before that this could happen
and now I'm not sure how fix that.
We could either:
1) Revert the change removing WiMAX support, but that would break ABI
compatibility one more time.
2) Keep it as it is and let packagers know about this problem and ask them to
rebuild everything using nm-qt (plasma-nm, plasma-workspace) in case they
already have NM 1.2.0.
What do you think is a better option?

I'm really sorry for this problem and will be more careful next time when
doing such changes. Thanks.
Regards,
Jan
