Marco,
Thank you for your feedback! Well deserved critique!
You are absolutely correct that this is an annoying problem that has to
be addressed. Mark provided excellent explanation, but it does not help
you to maintain the packages built on top of HDF5.
We started addressing the issue for 1.8.17, but couldn’t finish the work
due to very limited bandwidth, complexity of the issue and disagreement
on approach to the solution. I will not attempt to explain it in this
email. The problem deserves a well written document that we don’t have
at this point (contributes to the delay in finishing the work ;-).
I just wanted to let everyone know that we are very well aware of the
problem; it has a high priority and we will get back to it after all
features planned for 1.10.0 are finally out this Fall.

Question:
if I build 1.8.17 again with disable_version_check=1 is fine or not ?
I was not planning to build any 1.10.x version short term.
Regards
Marco
