I think there is some free upgrade policy. In general the old font 
should work ok given that one can live with the (current) inaccuracies 
(ance it's done there will be an article about the improvemnets that 
clarifies things).

We already concluded long ago that the suite of math fonts is somewhat 
inconsistent (between and within fonts). We try to deal with that as 
good as possible and believe that we have found the right mixed 
approach. If needed we can catch averythign in the goodie files but we 
try to minimize it so once this is all settled down, we can improve 
specific font related issues based on {\em realistic} user mwe's as we go.

Concerning large operators .. it worked before so ... the main reason 
why in e.g. euler it failed was a configuration option (euler fonts will 
be fixed too) which is a side effect of more advanced script anchoring 
in lmtx.

some mp->tex interfacing macros were upgraded but that should not really 
matter much so i need an example of what goes wrong (quite some month 
ago we fixed some left/right page related interfacing but that should 
not affect single sided documents)
