Anything that creates a link should be unaffected as the old style URLs still work. It is only systems that parse URLs that will require updating and it should be an easy fix for most of them. As far as I recall we came through the introduction of short links in 2009 without catastrophic repercussions so I can't see how this would be all that different.
