No, I was extremely overzealous -- and said so.  I put EVERYTHING I was 
not sure of into category 5.  I figured it was up to the maintainers, 
not me, to say "waitaminute, my package doesn't export any interfaces 
that changed..."

But I agree, there should probably be another category or subcategory, 
since none of the five I listed really work for this case.
