Because that would change the ABI of libutil and it is not a private library aka
we are supposed to maintain ABI compatibility as we do not know if it is used or
not externally to the project. I care about the ABI because I have made this
change in order to use it in pw(8) and MFC it to stable/10 before 10.2.

libutil is not versionned so this is the only way to not break the ABI. Except
if someone has a better idea than I do.

Best regards,
