     Once again, folks, *please* announce your soname bumps, and co-ordinate

Is it time to update the packaging guidelines to enforce setting a
"%global sover <X>" and using it in %files?

If nothing else it should at least be documented as a best practice.

I would be very opposed to this.

Even though some folks want rawhide to appear a release, rawhide is not
a release. So SONAME breakages are expected to happen in rawhide and
maintainers supposed to be reacted upon.

This is not true and I have *specifically* pointed you at the policy
page which says it is not true, more than once.

And I have to reiterate my mantra: This plan is a non-realistic illusion. It simply does not work and will not work.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Rawhide_.2F_devel_.2F_master

For updates to rawhide packages, Maintainers SHOULD:

     Try not to push a clearly broken build (breaks the default
buildroot package set, etc)

Note the "SHOULD" - This is the reflection of what I said above.
