In case this isn't clear yet: There likely will be no compatibility
problems. The bit manipulations will likely see the same results.

Of course, it would be good if users bring forward examples of how the
change affects their code. I.e. whenever you see such a warning,
please study the code and report whether the upcoming change will or
will not break your code. Such reports would allow to improve the
documentation.
