Yes, the minor must be incremented with each new release if we want to allow 2 DPDK versions to be installed in the same system. This policy must be changed: " Experimental libraries always have a major version of 0 to indicate they exist outside of ABI Versioning, with the minor version incremented with each ABI change to library. " I propose to re-use the global ABI version for experimental by prefixing with "0.". So for ABI 20.0, it could be 0.20.0 or 0.200? Which one?
