Making this change won't cause a problem with WON users as long as you don't use the new functions (as you won't have valid pointers to the functions as they don't exist on WON).

I am assuming we don't update our mods with this if we want to retain won compatibility for the moment.

This change is not needed for mods, I didn't want to confuse people with what was required. It will be okay to add this to your mod however as long as you release it after our update.
Yes, there will be a steam update that contains an updated client (and engine) that will occur when this change is made live.

Any reason this wasn't sent to hlcoders?
Alfred, will this only effect dedicated servers or will there be a client update coming in the "near" future?

We will be releasing a new engine soon (within the next couple of days we expect), we have added some new functions to the engine function structure (from eiface.h). If you are responsible for a third party program such as MetaMod you will need to update this engine structure and recompile your program. Not updating will cause a crash when your users try to use the new engine with the old engine interface structure.
