Yes, that is sufficient reason not to do the move. Third-party applications will break. Some people also really dislike installing *-devel packages in production, so there might not be an easy fix for them. The library probably should not have a versioned soname in the first place, with backwards compatibility achieved by different means. But that does not matter now.
