Ah, ok. Yes, you're right. Feel free to commit a patch to
s/removed/& or changed/ in 6.
Sorry I came in late for the discussion. Is it correct to interpret
"removed" as an interface has been removed, or an interface has been
changed so as to cause a binary incompatibility, so that bumping the
major version is the result to indicate it is not 100% binary compatible
with the previous version, and therefore may break a program that is
already compiled against this library?

Hi Jason,

's/removed/& or changed/' could have been spelled out in full as
's/removed/removed or changed/' if that clarifies the situation for
you?

So, both removing an interface and changing an interface
cause a binary incompatibility, so both actions need a major
version bump and age=0 (i.e. not compatible with previous
versions).

Cheers,
Peter
