While you make a point, I prefer to see announce for every soname bump
(including those with very little dependency) than taking the risk of
missing
one (which of course would be an important one).
I concur, speaking not only as someone who's missed dependencies before
and the
announcement helped me avoid breakage, but as someone who sometimes
needs to run make clean ; make on personal projects and/or rebuild personal
RPMs in these cases.
My 2cts,
Pierre
