No, that would completely defeat the point of the soname. If
upstream won’t use sonames or symbol versioning, it’s better for
Fedora to patch the software to use them properly, even if it means
having to continue to patch it. IIRC we do have various packages
that have to do this.
In this particular case, maybe it's possible to add back the symbols so
that the ABI is preserved.
We need a soname bump and one point anyway to address the symbol
collisions between json-c, json-glib, and jansson. The json-c/json-glib
collisions actually materialize in existing binaries. Removing some
symbols seems kind of unavoidable, but it is obviously best to bundle
all this into a single soname bump.
