No strong feelings though. Another option which I employ with the opencollada library is to use arbitrary soversioning. Upstream not only doesn't use library versions but doesn't use ANY versioning. I started at 0.1 or something like that and when I build a new package I check compatibility with abi-compliance-checker. If it's not found to be compatible, I bump the soversion macro in the spec file before doing an official build.
