Note the soname part. That only increments when there are backward-
incompatible changes to the ABI. Otherwise you could install the new
version, and existing compiled code would run against it just fine.
Consider the transition in the Linux world from libc5 to GNU libc6. That
happened over 20 years ago. Isn’t it time for libc7? No, because they have
been able to keep all the changes backward-ABI-compatible so far.
