Exactly, it should not. I think this is a mistake of the maintainer and
not Fedora. I certainly think twice about my Fedora updates.

And magically that became DNF issue? Such fuckup (sorry, but there is no
better word) is rather example of bad package repo management. F21 is
RELEASED version - none of such soname changes should happen there.

I know, I came from Debian/Ubuntu world where things are done in other
way but a way how Fedora is developed AFTER it gets released scares me
too often.
