So given that this library's use is pretty well contained, might it be

The goal is to provide stability.  If the soname bump is required for security or critical bug fixes, then yes.  For feature updates, generally speaking, we should avoid it but if there are compelling advantages and you are relatively confident that it is a robust change, then you can.
