Should most 3rd party plugins survive the upgrade from 0.9.6 to foobar

Should most 3rd party plugins survive the upgrade from 0.9.6 to foobar 1.0 ?  im using foobar 0.9.6 with the default UI and im wondering if my general configuration (color and layout setup) as well as my 3rd party plugins will be correctly imported in foobar 1.0.  im mostly using popular 3rd party plugins like foo_jesus, the playcount statistics, foo_lastFM, foo_navigator, and the database search component.  are some components expected not to be usable in foobar 1.0?

no the components you mention are usable, however foo_lastfm_radio gives a warning but is usable. also the rightclick context menu is changes in a way that many 3rd party plugins have their contextitems under a submenu called legacy. this looks kinda messy.

Aside from the context menu issue and the occasional "This Is A Legacy Preferences Page" popup, I've had no problems using any third-party components in fb2k 1.0.

what about configuration/layout/colors/keyboard shortcuts etc    does all this get imported fluidly?
