Well, one downside is that doing a full blown transition is likely to take
more work and time to see it completed. Unfortunately I don't have the time
required and can't commit to doing this myself.
I do agree it's the correct solution though, and it would be a good opportunity
to finally sync SONAME with upstream (last time a transition of libcurl was
attempted some 10 years or so ago, it was halted for reasons now lost in the
mists of time, so we have been stuck carrying some hacks to pretend we are
still using the old SONAME, see e.g. [0] [1]).
