maybe but you should discuss this with users of the libs, theres some chance
things like this might cause a chain reaction of soname bumps througout libs
and i mean more than you listed

And i think it might be possible to fix things like this in a less disruptive
way
That is introducing a new error code and switching to that gradually deprecating
the old and then eventually droping it
