*If* I understand your context correctly, then -- yes, it will be as
disruptive as _upgrade_ (in contrary with _reinstall_) from old proper
to just released proper.  Also, haven't you forgot about SBo?

You probably haven't noticed, but *all* current has been rebuilt for
reasons I ignored,  but there are reasons.  Now compress multiple
reasons for partial and whole rebuilds.  Hopefully, you've got the
picture.
