The one real world experience we have with this is kdepim.  From my =

perspective as a packager the entire transition has been a disaster and =

created huge work for us (shortly before our KDE 4.7 based release I was do=
ing =

almost commit by commit updates of our packages in the hopes of getting use=
rs =

something better).  Additionally, there was confusion about what versions o=
f =

kdepim/-runtime/pimlibs could be combined in the interim.  There were third =

digit updates that only worked with certain KDE SC versions.  It was a mess.

In theory it may not be more work, but so far in practice it's been hugely =
so.
