Unannounced ABI bump in Rawhide: libarchive

There appears to be a new libarchive package in Rawhide -
libarchive-3.0.0-0.1.a.fc17 - which does an ABI bump (from
libarchive.so.2 to libarchive.so.3). This was not announced ahead of
time to devel@, as is required by policy:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_responsibilities#Notify_others_of_changes_that_may_affect_their_packages

Tomas, could you please alert devel@ (and ideally directly alert the
maintainers of packages which depend on libarchive) when doing updates
that break ABI/API in future?

devel list, be notified :)
