In other words, reasons that an RPM built on one will not work on
another?  There will be at least these:

o Different Python version (and module ABI) means that packages
  providing extension modules will be providing modules that do not
  work with the running Python.  In turn, any packages that want to
  use those extension modules will not be able to.

o The libdb library has changed soname, and so anything that uses it
  will require the version it was built against.

o So has libdbus, but there are far fewer things using that.

o GIMP has been upgraded, and I think the plug-in ABI may have changed
  incompatibly.  Packages providing GIMP plug-ins will be affected.
