This should be handled by the current rpmguard test:
https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/wiki/rpmguard
since changing the ABI/API should generally change the soname/version,
thus changing the package Provides. Furthermore there's plans to
actually diff the symbol tables themselves, for extra safety:

tricky with accidental ABI/API breakage - like in the yum api, for
example.
So I think it would be shortsighted for FESCo to refuse to even
discuss
a policy about what manual testing is currently required, since any plan
for improving the quality of the distribution will always require some
amount of manual testing.
agreed.
