Might be useful while you ask upstream what they’re doing there
with regards to both API and ABI, and/or someone diffs the API
and ABI surface of the old and new version and figures out whether
there are any other such surprises. Security fixes might need
backporting though.

Maybe they haven’t realised themselves and decide they need to
bump to libxml3 upstream at some point.
