is upgrade of devel/lib{tool, tldl}15 to devel/lib{tool, tldl}22 worth it?

Don't know for the upgrade, I preferred deinstalling and reinstalling
manually all of my 400 (well I reinstalled only 20 of them, 380 are
RUN or LIB dependencis) ports because of :
- libjpeg upgrade
- some 8-CURRENT libraries version bump (I could make delete-old-libs
after deleting ports)
- libtool and libltdl upgrade
- KDE 4.3.0 just released from area51

That was enough for me to prefer the less risky way... works great so far :)
