Bumping netlink-packet-core from 0.5 to 0.7 is a breaking change because netlink-packet-core is part of the public API of netlink-proto. It should thus be bumped as part of a major release of netlink-proto, i.e. netlink-proto 0.12.
Users cannot build rtnetlink 0.12 anymore because it depends on netlink-packet-core 0.5 and netlink-proto 0.11, and items from netlink-packet-core 0.5 cannot be used with netlink-proto 0.11.2 anymore.
