Yes, the soname bump in F15 was done by mistake, and obviously the testing caught that, so it was reverted right away. The bump in F16 was the result of the same mistake, but there I thought it might as well stay. Except I should have mailed to devel list about it, I'm sorry I didn't. So 1.46.1 is there for real, later to be replaced most probably by 1.48.0, or whatever the upstream manages to finish in the mean time.
