It's clear to me that library soname bumps should generally be avoided in released Fedoras, but can it be allowed for more fringe libraries? Specifically, I'd like to get Dyninst 8.1 into Fedora 18, which would bump everything from ".so.8.0" to ".so.8.1". The only in-distro package that BuildRequires Dyninst is SystemTap, which I also co-maintain and will certainly rebuild in tandem. If there are any out-of-distro users of our dyninst libraries, I expect they are of the more research-oriented type who will appreciate keeping up the version. I suppose any such people should speak up, please, if you disagree. So given that this library's use is pretty well contained, might it be OK to go ahead and update in F18?
