Well, are you aware of any src.rpm that needs this library as build
requirement? If so, better inform the packager directly, because the next
(re)build of that package will fail. If not other packages in the distribution
use this lib, there may be private users of the Fedora package, but it's
uncertain whether they can be reached via devel@ list.

Packaging guidelines don't cover changes like that, but Update guidelines
may: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_Maintainers
