The other potential impact is that gnutls no longer uses libgcrypt, but instead uses nettle. This can impact apps that were using gnutls in a threaded environment because they probably have used 'gcry_control' to register a thread impl for gcrypt, to ensure that gnutls was thread safe. So merely rebuilding applications may well not work & require some code changes. This will certainly impact libvirt builds.
