The only libfetch consumers (that I know of) are fetch(1) and the pkg tools. Old binaries will still work on an upgraded system (which will still have libfetch.so.2) but not on a fresh install (which will lack libfetch.so.2), but both upgraded and freshly installed systems will have up-to-date versions of fetch(1) and the pkg tools. Moreover, libfetch.so.3 is backward compatible, so a symlink should be sufficient to support old binaries. The reason for the bump is that new binaries will not work with an old library.
