Yup. At first it seems like a mere inconvenience...until you realize you have about a bazillion cgi and other scripts that you're going to have to rebuild. I learned a long time ago to back up the data, but resetting the frelling permissions is a whole day's work when you have to do it all at once.
(eta - I know I sound like a whiner. I am. So there, nyah nyha nyah.)
In all seriousness - if you have a database-driven site, things MIGHT look okay, because the databases haven't been affected, but if you've updated your interface script, take a second look.
