 Right there is no harm. One can only bump the release and carry a rebuild
without any change in spec. What I thought is that generally people whose
packages gets soname bump used to carry package rebuilds for its dependent
packages also. Same has already happened with libicu soname bump in the
past. This time it was not clear if libicu maintainer is going for these
package rebuilds or not.
  Anyway I assume libicu maintainer want to only push libicu update and let
the dependent package owners to rebuild their packages. I have just rebuilt
fontmatrix now.

Thanks,
Parag.
