From my point of view, it's a good idea to move them into the *-devel
package.
It's more effective and ordered for future development.
Because if someone only needs a few libraries, they don't have to require
the whole main package and can just require a devel package, which is the
way we want it as far as I know.

Hello everyone,
I would like to start a discussion about moving unversioned *.so files
back to unixODBC-devel package, as they are currently in the main package.
The reason for this discussion is primary have things in order according to
future rhel-9.
There will potentially be a change of moving 5 files {libodbc.so
libodbcinst.so libodbcpsqlS.so libodbcmyS.so libtdsS.so} to devel
package, so from the maintainers/users perspective, dependent packages will
have to require also the devel package and should be rebuild as well. No
other changes will be made.
There seemed to be no big reason for moving the libraries to the main
package in the past, so I consider f34 as a good candidate for such a
change. It would be great, if you share your opinions and concerns for
this topic.
Sharing also the official documentation [1], tracker in bugzilla [2] and
upcoming changes in unixODBC package [3]
Thanks!
Ondrej
