OK, thanks. The abi check canvases everything in the package and is sensitive
to changes that are internal to the package. Thoser internal changes are not
bugs for us to manage.Take, for example, a c/c++ package with many .so plugins
or other internal libraries that provide services to the application, but are
not user-facing -- the abi check sees these internal changes as noteworthy, but
they really are not and should be filtered.
I guess I'll have to use the waiver for now.

That text isn't talking about "fixing the tests", but about fixing the
*bugs*. It assumes that the test indicates a real issue that needs
fixing, therefore you can fix the issue in your package and cause the
test to pass.
It doesn't really cover the scenario where what the test is reporting
isn't really a problem and doesn't need to be fixed. You can't resolve
that from your package git repository, but you *can* submit a waiver,
as discussed upthread.
Additionally, as Ralph wrote, he has removed abicheck from the list of
gating tests for now, so you shouldn't need to worry about abicheck
failures blocking updates, as soon as Bodhi starts applying that
change.
