Well, I don't know about that.  Each interface is still a completely
separate thing, and the version numbers for them are maintained
accordingly.

It seems important that a version bump in, say, the state extension,
doesn't mean anything in the core has changed.  Paticularly for
developers that don't use state.  However, perhaps this argument is
invalid since LV2 specifications never break (their URI must change if
they do, there is no major version).

That's a pretty dramatic change, but it is simpler... a lot simpler...
having all the NEWS files and everything merged, I don't know ...
