I would be very opposed to this.
Even though some folks want rawhide to appear a release, rawhide is not
a release. So SONAME breakages are expected to happen in rawhide and
maintainers supposed to be reacted upon.
This is not true and I have *specifically* pointed you at the policy
page which says it is not true, more than once.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Rawhide_.2F_devel_.2F_master
For updates to rawhide packages, Maintainers SHOULD:
Try not to push a clearly broken build (breaks the default
buildroot package set, etc)
When a proposed update contains an ABI or API change: notify a week
in advance both fedora-devel and maintainers directly (using the
packagename-owner@ alias) whose packages depend on yours to rebuild or
offer to do these rebuilds for them.
