Yes and this till the end of time.

X11.org project is dead, there is absolutely no plan for a new major
release.
Even if there will be a fix, this will be on a minor release, and the soname
can deal with that.

Take a other example: library openssl they recently release libssl.so.1.1,
the previous version was libssl.so.1.0.2.

The 2 versions are not compatible.

With fpc 3.0.4., all the code in openssl fpc-package was done for
libssl.so.1.0.2. and link so to libssl.so.

But if you install the last release libssl.so.1.1 and the dev pack,
libssl.so will point to libssl.so.1.1 that is not compatible.

And all your applications will be unusable, you have to recompile all with
fpc 3.2.0 that have updated the code for libssl.so.1.1.

It is not the right way because if you install libssl.so.1.1., usually the
old libssl.so.1.0.2 is still in the distro.
