We wouldn't even necessarily need to bump the version number, since the main thing the "manylinux1" tag does is serve as a notice to pip about whether a wheel is likely to work on a given system. If after experience we realize that in fact there are more libraries that would work on those same systems, then we can release a "manylinux 1.1" document that updates the guidance to package authors but continues to use the "manylinux1" tag and leaves the same code in pip. (And ditto if we realize that there are libraries on the list that shouldn't be.) -n -- Nathaniel J.
