Yes.  Tediously.  I have about 74 things that depend on expat.
Or you could ignore the whole thing until something important
depending on expat needs upgrading and do the mess then.
Firefox might count as this, maybe X.  Both of which seem to
have updates this last week.

Shouldn't matter for most of them if you didn't delete your distfiles
as they are merely(!) being rebuilt with expat 2.  If you deleted your
distfiles, or close with make distclean you will have to download
them anew, sadly.
