If I understand my hg log correctly,
these have been "private" functions intended to be used
internally only by the logging helper functions of "logd",
and never intentionally been "exported".

The have been made "static" (and "unexported") five years ago...
thanks for noticing it now ;-)

I seriously doubt that there actually is, or ever was,
any user of these funtions out there.

I don't think bumping the SONAME five years after the fact
is of any use to anyone.

But I'd happily leave any decision about that to Dejan,
or whom ever feels entitled to it...
