Actually not, I assumed ABI incompatibility. What matters here is API 
compatibility as we target to $next distro releases and we can tell them they 
need to rebase on newer library versions (in advance).

Hmm, this is nice, I didn't know about it. Although I assume that the 
algorithm to compute API/ABI compatibility is rather dumb, right?

Anyways, thanks for the input, distro packagers are the most competent to 
answer such questions.
