Too true. :-(
Although I smell a troll, since every update to the 1.4 branch changing shlib
versions has a commit tag of 'abs' ;-)
No major/minor numbers were changed from 1.4 -> 1.4.x
Is that a rule? I suspect I wouldn't have noticed it if it were stated, but
I don't recall it.
So, that said, I can't think of any other issues with replacing a
1.4 package with a 1.4.1 (etc) package.
