If I understand correctly, then when you install the new "development"
micro version, it'll have a libguile with the same soname as the
"trusted" version, and at that instant, all apps will switch to using
the new "untrusted" lib because that's the one ldso will prefer
version-wise (that's presuming the new libguile doesn't just clobber
the old one if the micro version wasn't changed).

If I'm right about that, then are there any other arguments in favor
of not dropping the micro revision from things like the share
directory name, or would you be OK with it?
