Technically, you MUST ask FESCo for approval if you want to push
soname-changing / ABI-breaking updates to a stable branch.

I think ImageMagick should fall into this category for Updates Policy
exceptions:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#security-fixes

Since the process for updating ImageMagick in rawhide turned out to be
very bumpy, it would be great if you came up with a solid plan for how
to update it on a stable branch without breaking stuff *before*
starting the process and before asking for that exception - something
like 1) compile a definitive list of packages that need a rebuild, 2)
execute all builds in a side tag in a timely fashion, 3) fix any
breakage fast, 4) create bodhi update from side tag as soon as
possible to reduce possibilities for side-tag merge conflicts.
