I don't see this as being a "basic principle" at all. For an enterprise 
distro like RHEL or CentOS, sure. But not for something like Fedora. What 
counts is that all software in Fedora depending on the library gets rebuilt 
and pushed at the same time. (That's what grouped updates are for.) We do 
not support third-party software.
