It’s probably helpful to include them when practical, and certainly not wrong or harmful to do so, but it’s also normally adequate to let them pick up the update at the next routine update or mass rebuild. I *do* include these header-only reverse dependencies in COPR impact checks.

I would expect that a possible impact
if one does not include header-only
dependencies in rebuilds can be
applications that use dlopen (and
expect the library to have the
required symbols) can experience
some interesting events.

I have no idea as to how mariadb
uses the fmt headers, but given the
complexity of that solution I would
tend to be somewhat conservative
in my rebuilds (rebuilding everything
just to be sure avoids surprises).
Better too many packages getting
rebuilt than not enough (and a
FTBFS in the future during the
next mass rebuilds can put a lot
of pressure on packagers in a
short time frame).
