Since the ABI package python3-numpy-abi9 was not bumped, I don't believe any rebuilds are needed.

Although this is not a transition in the way a C library transition requires rebuilding all reverse-dependencies, a transition to a new Python module often requires updating reverse-dependencies, of which numpy has many, so it's good to bring these to the attention of the release team. Thanks for the headsup! Regards Graham
