We definitely won't bump again in F16 cycle.  What is likely to happen
is series of isolated patches that we backport from future releases, as
requested in bug reports or otherwise.  We might consider pushing 1.47.1
if it turns up, but that largely depends on whether it would be humanly
possible to review the patch-set for ABI breakages.
