Yes, but likely not all of them (or all changes in them).  The only
problematic ones are where a dynamically scoped variable is renamed and
there are a bunch of others that probably are OK.

For Emacs 24, it is probably the right thing to do, depending on how
much time there is left before release.  In hotfix/master the changes
should be corrected so that they do what they were supposed to do
(i.e. also rename the variables in the caller).
