If they broke ABI, why wasn't the soname bumped?

I'm concerned about this last change - if I understand it correctly everything
that link to CHOLMOD will now need to use -fopenmp as well.  I'm not
necessarily opposed to this, but it does have larger ramifications.  I know in
various places libraries will provide both serial and openmp versions.  I
wonder if it's time for Fedora to work out a scheme for this, or perhaps
simply embrace the multi-core age and accept openmp versions as standard.
