If I change some stuff in a library that forces the user to recompile all
programs because it's not binary compatible I have to change the major
number right? But just changing the order in an enum datatype does not
exactly look like such a big change. But the only way to avoid this problem
is adding the new entries at the end of the enum. Or do I miss something
obvious here?
