No, because the metadata generators support this for a while already. The one Ubuntu and Debian use are ready, and so is Richard's appstream-glib.
As long as the server-side code is able to read the metainfo directory, backports are fine.
So, this change is relatively safe - but it won't hurt to request a bit more feedback from other distros.
(Debian and Ubuntu are definitely fine, I talked to OpenSUSE guys a few months ago and they already made the necessary changes, Fedora should be fine too but I am currently talking with Richard Hughes about it (who wants to test it first).
