This is a soname bump from libxerces-c.so.27 to libxerces-c.so.28, and looks
like it would break at least enigma, gdal, ovaldi, perl-XML-Xerces and
xalan-c, not to mention local packages and other local builds.

(soname bump is an ABI change)
I haven't seen even a "HEADS UP" mail about this. Without a very good
reason,
this is far from acceptable in EPEL.
Agree - it should be dropped from EPEL-testing.
BTW, looks like this update is on its way to Fedora too, it'll
break even more
packages there. And not even a heads up mail seen on fedora-devel either.
Please explain?
Sorry for this. I just forgot to mention about this incompatibility
during mass rebuilds for gcc4.3. I'll revoke requests for update from
F-7 and F-8 ASAP.
I want to keep new version for devel-branch though.
