Thats OK.
I was really commenting on future major version changes, I have worked with a couple of other libraries (Xforms and lesstif) and noted that they found it easier to deal with trouble reports when the "real" binary (not the softlinks to it) was versioned with the real release number, but they had some problems getting libtool to behave[1].
So again, this is something to mainly keep in the back of your mind for V2 -> V3 transition.

[1] with lesstif they had a very difficult time, the softlink was required to be libXm.so.1.2 (the version of motif it was being compatible with) but the version of lesstif was 0.94.4.

I assume that you mean:
You intend to apply the 1.9.0 version in the trunk.
But you do not intend to apply the 1.2.4 version.

Seems like a sound decision, considering you do not intend to cut a 1.2.5 revision.

Note that since you committed the patch for c++ (Bug #224485), you can remove references to it from the .spec file when you apply it to the trunk. :)
