Absolutely not. That's the one thing we must keep, and keep monotone
so that applications continue to compile and build.
Sure we need to communicate our ABI/API stability policies, and publish
release numbers and all that, but the API must provide a sensible
backwards compatible macro for testing whether the compile-time
version exceeds various threshold values.
We should also provide various helper macros, but NOT remove the
legacy encoded number. That's a non-starter.
