I'm a little fuzzy on the timelines of these changes so I might be one 
release off, but here's two examples.

-Fedora 10 changed curl from using openssl to nss.
-Fedora 14 changed openldap from using openssl to nss.

Both times I had software I use break and only figured it out when I was 
told the fix was to nss.

IMHO those two changes are rather large as they introduce different 
behavior across a broad range of software. They have had negative 
effects in my usage cases[1][2] and took months to resolve.

The libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo was a feature so it is not unreasonable to 
expect similar changes to be considered a feature.
