Sorry if the answer to this question is obvious - but shouldn't
breaking changes like these cause an soname bump?
I realize the whole "unintentional" part - but if these changes also
affect ABI (the first sounds like it might do that), dependent
packages would need to be rebuilt either way, wouldn't they?
