This particular hard requirement (libcurl) affects the communication channel
which is different than causing the code to fail to run at all. So the question
is do the new libcurl requirements immediately break existing systems that are
not yet updated with new libcurl functionality. It is kind of a big deal to
update a widely used library and creates knock-on problems from ripple effect
for production systems subject to strong configuration management policies.

depending on what you exactly mean by obsoleting.
older versions will work and will be supported for some time.
but freshclam will warn about newer version available.
if you have installed clamav via any OS/distribution, you usually can trust
them to provide newer version soon.
In case it's of any interest:
For several weeks I ran a mix of three versions of clamd, from both
0.101.4, and 0.102rc side-by-side, all on the same machine, with no
problems (other than that obviously they're a little picky about
library versions). They all used the same set of databases, updated
by a single freshclam instance. A milter piped the mail to all three
clamd instances concurrently, and in this usage I saw no evidence of
any differences in their performance.
