Ok — I get your point and recognize its validity. Still, for future such cases, *please* try to plan this kind of changes at least a couple of releases in advance, throwing deprecation notices at startup, instead of just suddenly failing to work. Still, my point in long-time maintenance holds. I'm not trying to threaten in any way, but trying to understand what is the best, least stressful way to work on this. Of course, I refuse to ask my users to just "use unstable", as unstable is *not* meant for regular users.
