I wouldn't say it like that. I'd say packages needing the changed provides
should get rebuilt and be pushed at the same time, but saying no provides
should ever change is going to be a problem for several libraries/packages
(Firefox being only the most obvious example). For example, we need to allow
for broken ABI compatibility for the KDE 4 development platform updates until
the 4.0 release (or at least the 4.0 development platform release, which will
be fairly soon). It's part of its nature as a tech preview.
