Thanks for pointing out that directive, whose existence I had forgotten.
 Assuming we put the 'redefinePermssion' directives in place on the
trunk, why shouldn't we leave the version number as is?  I consider the
rename a bugfix, not a feature, and if we make it backwared compatible,
there is no reason to bump the major version.
