It would be nice if such reports could be generated earlier. For example
when there is an upstream release, the-new-hotness builds a scratch
build automatically for monitored packages:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222017#c5

It would be awesome if your tool could report ABI changes afterwards, so
the potential problem is known even before the new release is actually
included into Fedora.
