Your guess is as good as mine. I asked on IRC in #fedora-devel after
my package failed to build on Rawhide and was told that there was a
soname bump for icu and was given an all clear to rebuild it. I then
nphilipp rebuild it after me for whatever reason. I have no idea why
they rebuilt again (maybe they had a reason).

Ideally the person who did the soname bump for icu would have rebuilt
harfbuzz with it (erack at redhat.com). This happens quite often and it's
quite annoying.
