They already do. Our ABIs can already change without notice, and our policy 
is to only require a rebuild of the stuff in Fedora (and third-party 
repositories are expected to rebuild their stuff, for RPM Fusion we normally 
warn the affected maintainers beforehand). For custom-built stuff, whoever 
builds it is responsible for rebuilding it for dependency changes. It would 
be impossible to do even Firefox security updates (and many other important 
updates) otherwise! I don't see this as a problem at all.
