Couldn't some of the upcoming gating initiatives catch incidental soname bumps ?

I can imagine a test running on all builds, that checks for soname bump and
gates the package if the soname bump is not appropriately marked up somewhere
(say via some identifier in the package change log).

Alternatively I guess reverse dependency tests could catch this,
if systemd gating tests run & failed with the updated qrencode package,
keeping the qrencode package gated.
