The bug[1] fixed by the commit that caused the ABI break is pretty serious --
all faac-generated files are rejected by Banshee.

Considering that there is a relatively small number of rdeps involved (shouldn't
take more than a day to clear), and all of them are maintained by the same team,
I was hoping you could overlook this.

If this is really not acceptable, then I guess I'll just have to ask users to
enable experimental if they have such files.
