Are there any problems with the new System Integrity Protection when upgrading to 10.11?

I have a shitload of stuff in /usr/local (and I think maybe /usr), /System (eat poo poo launchd) an edited AppleGraphicsControl.kext, GlimmerBlocker and a few custom kexts I had to compile myself. From my understanding SIP will just shove all that poo poo into the PreviousVersion folder, but I need the edited AppleGraphicsControl kext to see anything on my display, so it's kinda important that it's there, and it can't be injected afaik. Is there a way to disable it before upgrading?

No SIP problems. Clover disables it by default. The problems with 10.11 are related to USB, lots of changes to USB. USB3 breaks by default for lots of people. An easy fix for that will be out in the next day or two.

Your kexts will be migrated out, though. Even without SIP, AppleGraphicsControl would get tossed aside as the installer has a newer version to offer. You should switch to MacPro3,1 temporarily so you can see things (ideally, switch permanently). You can reinstall your kexts after the upgrade.

Great to know, thanks. I'll still be cautious and clone my existing 10.10 install first, but I'll try and upgrade over the weekend (I've been ridiculously busy lately). I still prefer using the cloned MacPro5,1 SMBIOS I'm using since it's seen as being (I guess?) 100% legitimate, but if the AppleGraphicsControl thing becomes a gigantic pain in the rear end I'll probably switch.
