True.
I warned about this in my "kdelibs 4.8? What to do about GENERIC_LIB_VERSION?" message
to k-c-d back in early October.

However: the last planned 4.7 release (4.7.4) is tagged on 1 Dec, so after that we should
be able to change over the kdelibs-4.7 branch to say "4.8" everywhere.

Funnily, 4.8 beta2 is also to be tagged on 1 Dec. 
So Dirk could do things in this order in kdelibs-4.7 branch on that date:
- tag 4.7.4
- change all "4.7" to "4.8"
- tag 4.8 beta2
