Wouldn't bother me any.

A similar question regarding glib versions came up a few weeks ago - it
would be good if we could talk at Sharkfest about a plan of some sort for
support lifespans. Obviously every case is slightly different but it would
be good to agree on some sort of general policy, both for internal use and
for communication to the more stability-oriented vendors who might be
evaluating Wireshark.
