 consequences.  Looking this ticket over it seems to be ok but would just
 like to make sure.

 It's OK, WP will just re-generate the oEmbed tags on the fly. The only
 thing is if some videos were taken down, instead of the embed tag (which
 wouldn't play anything anyway), you'd get plain links instead. Not really
 a big deal.

 Out of curiosity, what site are you talking about with 33k posts?
