Yes splitting libweston into separate repo makes sense. Yet I failed
to see where the actual pain is - there is a minor annoyance, and devs
and/or distro maintainers have learned to deal with a lot nastier
things through the years.

If anything, having libweston-2 provided by (a future)
libweston-1.12.0 tarball/package would make things even more
confusing/annoying. That is unless one is planning to say "f**k it,
let's decrease the version" upon the split. With the later upsetting a
lot of people.
