It's not. It's entirely acceptable to bump a soname if there's a good reason
to and dependent packages WILL have to get rebuilt. It would be impossible
to update something like xulrunner for security fixes otherwise.
That said, in this case, IMHO there are too many dependent packages to force
such a global rebuild.
