Are you really concerned about the momentous impact of naming on the
future of lablgtk?

This was already the case for lablgtk-2.2.0, so there is nothing
surprising there. lablgtk-2.x.x is just a version number for lablgtk2.
For internal versioning, I suggest you rather use the release date:
lablgtk2-20040715.

Some people may still have some lablgtk1 code around, and there is no
reason to disturb them.
