You'll get incorrect spacing. Compare:

$$
y = \left. \left({a+b \over c+d}\right) \right/
\left({e+f \over g+h}\right)
$$
$$
y = \left({a+b \over c+d}\right) \bigg/
\left({e+f \over g+h}\right)
$$
\vskip 4pc
$$
y = \left({a+b \over c+d}\right) \left/
\left({e+f \over g+h}\right) \right.
$$
$$
y = \left({a+b \over c+d}\right) \bigg/
\left({e+f \over g+h}\right)
$$
