The incompatibilities are only relevant if they affect the packages
depending on the library, and this relevance isn't reported by
japi-compliance-checker. You could have a package with 1%
incompatibility that breaks badly many reverse dependencies, and a
package with 50% incompatibility affecting no reverse dependency. japi
and clirr are useful tools but you can't avoid an impact analysis on the
reverse dependencies to assess the severity of the incompatibility.
