yes, this is of course a big deal for some people, esp if you're using 
proprietary software that's built against the "original" abi.  of course if 
you're only using OSS extensions, you can simply recompile them against the 
new api/abi and there's no drawback.

btw - in our (debian's) case, the benefits outweighed the consequences, so 
we've been shipping with LFS turned on for somewhere around a year now.
