To solve this problem, symbols in the ABI could be versionized and dependent packages rebuilt.

(after a rebuild, > that is) Yes, I hope so. 112698 3 mike 2010-09-26 14:21:12 +0400 I suggest RESOLVED WORKSFORME (as the current version works indeed, and its subsequent rebuild will cause fixup anyways -- the clients are also going to be rebuilt over time).
