I'm willing to accept that extensions wont work in future if OO and LO grow apart, but I think this 
shouldn't be done artificially by changing the version number. It could be bad for OO users that 
want to use LO, but miss some extensions because they are no longer compatible because the version 
number of LO differs.

Whenever there is a release with a changes for version 4.x.x I accept incompatibilities.

not to you James:
Most people don't take version numbers serious anymore. Look at Chrome for example. The rapid 
change of major versions is ridiculous.

LO is not build from scratch, so for me it can stick to 3.x.x and move onward.
