Let me restate my point again. It does not matter whether some application
uses the symbol. It does matter whether the symbol is considered the part
of exported stable ABI, intended for use by applications. If it is, then
FBSD_1.X is the right namespace, otherwise symbol should be moved to
private and existing usage fixed.
