Is there any reason why ABI testing can't be in its own package? I.e. a
separate group/git/etc that contains a testsuite that verifies the ABI

keep the tests rigorous, and reduces dependencies wrt glibc itself.
You also want to run the tests more often than "once per build"
sometimes, and a separate package can do that as well as test the
installed ABI.
That's actually a very good idea. We may want to run the Fedora 27 ABI
definition against the Fedora 28 library, too.
Thanks,
