Is the bump of LT_VERS_INTERFACE to 100 just a placeholder for the
pre-releases?

Hi Orion,
The 1.10.0 interface is not compatible with the latest 1.8.16 release, and
so an interface version bump is necessary.
Furthermore, we will be continuing to release new versions in the 1.8.x
maintenance release line (e.g. 1.8.17, 1.8.18, etc.) alongside future releases
in the 1.10.x release line (1.10.1, 1.10.2, etc.). Since the libraries have the
same names (libhdf5), we don't want a situation where the soname of the 1.8.x
series "catches up" to or surpasses the 1.10.x series, so we 've started the
1.10.x series of releases with LT_VERS_INTERFACE set to 100 (a number we feel
there is very little chance will be arrived at in the 1.8.x release line’s
lifetime).
If you have an alternate suggestion for maintaining interface version numbers
for multiple concurrent maintenance release lines of the same software, we would
definitely entertain alternate solutions.
Thank you!
