I say go with this - because users already have to modify nearly all the symbols they use in a schematic when using the existing library. This way, most of the symbols will have default footprints and other attributes that will do just fine.
At the very least, I don't think it would make the end user's workload any worse.
If it breaks someone's workflow temporarily, they'll have to adapt. Such things are commonplace with far more major upgrades than an EDA package. I think of office suites and even whole OSs, which often end up requiring formal re-training when upgraded.
