Not to mention the fact that this major soname ABI/API bump was not
announced in advance!  The maintainer should have posted at least a
day or so in advance to fedora-devel-announce-list to warn packagers
in advance of the major change (which would have allowed discussion of
the possibility of the necessity of introducing compat-libsoup type
package).

Here's the full list of packages broken either directly or indirectly
by this change:
