I sent in an email *along time ago* about this type of problem. See the fallout due to revision 1.24

5.0.
You don't want to do it before you have to, because this creates more pain for people when you make a change that breaks backwards compat (given the policy/preference of only bumping once per major release).
I'm working on a script that will detect the kind of backwards compatibility breakage we're seeing here by comparing the symbols in 4.x and 5.x versions of libraries with the same major revision. We can then run this once a day/week/whatever somewhere to catch these problems as soon as they occur in future.
You and I participated in the first go around in the library versioning problem. For one of my attempts to discuss this problem, see

Are there any hints how to solve my problem, I'm willing to give it a shot ;)
