These sorts of problems aren't the kinda that show up right away. They usually show up weeks later when someone says, "pacman's acting really weird. -Si is telling me different things than the web site...".
I'd rather err on the side of caution than on the side of we'll-fix-it-when-it-breaks. The less disruption we cause our users, the better.
Caution is all fine and good, but if it's "lets put lots of effort into this so the mysql db is in sync" that seems kinda... I dunno, "too much" - I mean, display problems can be fixed later. If it's just a "why is this saying version 1 when we're on version 2" then it's not even relevant to this, if you ask me. To hold up a restructuring as important of this because of the numbers listed on a web site is wrong. Then again, this is just my opinion.
Also, if we're doing it this weekend, maybe we should warn everyone now?
Probably a good idea.
