Indeed, that's what I've been requesting for about 3 years now:

https://fedorahosted.org/bodhi/ticket/79

i.e. a way of preventing pushes that break deps, and get warn
maintainers of abi/soname bumps that they need to co-ordinate with all
dependent packages to do a single co-ordinated push.  

Broken deps in releases is my number 1 peeve with Fedora and although
it's been actively worked on now, it's taken a very long time to do so.
It would be nice if Red Hat put some more engineering resources into
part of QA because it definitely overlaps into the infrastructure side
of things that "community" maintainers don't have access to.
