Shouldn't private api users recompile everything anyway?  That's essentially 
what downstreams need to do, why are "developers" any different?

Otherwise, what's the point of introducing this at all?  (Yes, it is one 
small baby step in the right direction as-is, but the suse patch takes the 
final big step, imo).
