We simply don't know.  However, the point of a freeze is that we don't
*have* to guess.  It's up to the glib maintainers, if they want a
migration, to document the facts, and not simply blithely say "not a
problem!"

The point af a freeze is that destabilizing changes are not made, at
all.  Not "well, if they destabilize only a *little*".
