I thought so. I had a thought. A way of keeping everyone happy might be 
to leave the Xfce4 libs as is, and bump the major version number as you 
say. Then, make longer term plans for Xfce5 to rationalize its CVS 
modules, and its library's names and version numbering. This would 
address both yours and  Benedikts concerns, and no one would be able to 
complain because things do change between major releases, like Xfce4 -> 
Xfce5.
