Never a major - that is reserved for changing the signature of functions or members of structures that are catastrophic for previously compiled modules. This is not one of those :) The previous absence of these exports was simply a bug, I don't see a reason to bump the version minor for bug fixing. If users were looking to determine compatibility, e.g. on the 2.4 released branch, I might have another opinion, but during trunk development, we fix it and move on. A previously compiled module simply wouldn't have any insight on these functions so correcting it doesn't break what they were already aware of.
