Compiling C++ template headers results in binary code that is built into the
target program. The same applies to inline functions defined in C headers. If
the headers change due to a fix for a bug or for a security vulnerability, you
need to recompile every program that uses the headers.

In case other -devel packages in the Fedora Package Collection also include
only C++ templates, they would also need to be handled appropriately. Also,
there may be some -devel library packages, where the included headers *also*
define a few inline functions or template classes, and this is a little bit of
a grey area, because again, important code changes in those parts require
rebuilds of dependencies. Just as with a static library.
