I personnally have a bad experience about reverting ABI version name against upstream, specially in the case of DirectFB https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673842 The best is to continue to try to educate upstream about this problem, specially if this update 'sounds like' a bugfix update. I would be more in favour to have a dedicated dist-tag used for the rebuilt of dependent packages (done preliminary in rawhide) and not to create a SONAME deviating from upstream.
