--- Comment #15 from Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> ---
Just some vague opinion from the backward compatibility peanut galary:

Was the misinterpretation ambiguous / information-losing?  If not, then it =
does
not seem necessary to do a major flag-day version bump, because abidiff cou=
ld
read a v1 xml file, convert from its buggy bit numbering scheme to the corr=
ect
one.  It could treat the data (or even rewrite it) as though it were a v2
correct one.  Heck, if the buggy data is straightforward to correct in xml,
could put the correct bit# into a new-name xml element/attribute nearby, ra=
ther
than requiring a top level version bump?
