Another library from the GNOME community is libxml2, which is
now used all over Solaris.  I'm currently working on updating
it in Solaris 10 to a version that is 2 years newer.  The diff
is 100000+ lines (not counting the Makefile changes) and yet,
no ABI breakage was encountered.

Just as a matter of interest, is it easier to do regular updates
where the changes might be small, or wait a while and do one
big change that has larger impact?

I know that I (as someone who ends up building my own copies
of things like this because the Solaris version is old and other
software tends to want recent versions) would prefer more frequent
updates.
