I have to wonder if it would be that bad, since if you're aware
of where it breaks (which source code) wouldn't a bulk
search/replace of the sources to resolve that?
Although I'll be honest, breaking code is never fun, and making
people scour their code to fix something that worked before is
just an annoyance. On the other hand I'm almost tempted to
suggest a tool that would update changes to source code when some
of these things happen, dealing with most of these types of
problems.
