I'd very much like NOT to have to recompile all of my installed
ports on my -CURRENT boxes the day we turn on symbol versioning,
and that will require the shlib major bump of those libs that
will provide symbol versioning.  If we do the bump now, we'll
have to do it again later, and that's slightly against the rule
that we only bump them once inside a branch.
