This sounds like exactly the right course of action to me; please go ahead
with that.

To answer the original (and completely separate :) ) question: we got a
wider variety of feedback on the LGPLv2.5 proposal than we anticipated, so
there's still a lot of discussion going on about how best to proceed.  I
imagine we'll do something to address the compatibility issue one way or
another, but right now I can't really say much about what that would be or
when it might happen.

Best regards,
