As tempting as it is, I would suggest... NO!

Multiple changes at the same time are rarely a good idea on critical infrastructure.
You end up not knowing which change broke what when it comes time to
troubleshoot. While overlapping problems are unlikely in this case, I would
say it's still best to do the renumbering as more of an over-time process.

There's no reason to do renumbering as a flag day.
