It's unfortunate and should have been taken care of at 1.0.0 release. I
mean it should have been 1.0 or 10 or something.

Incompatibilities will be treated as bugs, so I'd in fact encourage test
with binaries compiled with 1.0.0. To answer the specific question
numbering is not really intentional and should be fixed. It doesn't give
freedom to choose more intuitive 1.0 or 10, so presumably we are stuck
with 1.0.0. On side note, Redhat for one uses own numbering for
lib[crypto|ssl].so and should adhere to same number when upgrading to 1.0.1.
