I don't have a problem rebuilding twice. I'd like to get a heads up that
a soname bump is comming, rather than finding out after the fact. This makes
scheduling the work a bit easier. Boost is used by enough stuff, that I think
a heads up to devel is warranted.

In this particular case I was concerned, because of the previous reversion in
F15 and didn't want to make things worse by starting rebuilds before I
knew this change was going to stick.
