Correct, simply introducing symbol versioning is safe. The reason to rebuild all apps that currently link jansson is to just ensure that the app binaries reference the new versioned symbol from jansson. Without doing this, the app's symbols can still be satisfied by the same named symbol from json-glib or json-c. > > I will attempt this in a side tag. IMHO it doesn't need to be done in a side tag. The rebuilds of apps can be done incrementally once new jansson has landed.
