I prefer self-contained patches, so when a new symbol is added minor
should be bumped.

The alternative approach is to have a change for the code, and then a
bump+APIchanges update separate change. The latter has the benefit
that when you do this, you know the hash of the previous related
change commit.

When we had many somewhat related changes in the same library, a
single global version bump+APIchanges update is acceptable, but I
still tend to prefer self-contained changes (which are a bit more
painful to deal with though).

So I'd say do it the way you prefer.
