Qt has kept binary compatibility since 4.0 was released in 2005. (and
3.0 kept binary compatibility during the 3.0 series)
kdelibs has kept binary compatibility since 4.0 was released in 2007

so I wouldn't as such call it 'frequent SONAME changes', but it do
require carefulness and commitment from upstream to do it.
