No, the runtime linker (at least on Linux) uses the SONAME value which  
is libopenobex.so.2 for the new version. That happens to be a link to  
the real library file.
I agree that the .2 has no value to the user but represent the ABI and  
is solved with the SONAME feature.
The .6.0.0 is just libtool non-sense. I fully do not agree with their  
arguments (yes, I read them). That could be anyhting (e.g. "v1.6" and  
the linker wouldn't care.

Libtool always had a questionable concept of doing things.
