ok, then you're assuming that ports that load a library/plugin at runtime won't
need a revbump if the library ABI changes (but something that links with that
library does need a revbump). I don't know if that's a reasonable assumption or
not (it probably /should/ be, but I don't know if things work that well in
practice or not).
