So far as I can tell from the release notes, there's no actual API
change in this update release. The issue is that they realized (too
late) that they should have done a soname bump between 5.1 and 5.5
because of previous changes. So it should just be a matter of a
recompile of F15 packages that are currently linking to
libmysqlclient.so.16. We've already taken whatever API hit there
might be.
