Yup, that's it. Your search-foo is better than mine!

I was referring to earlier posts (as old as Don's dconf 2013 talk ;))

However my complaint is not about the change itself (though I personally disagree with Don reasoning in that issue, it is a delicate matter) but about the fact that it is again done as a casual PR and our breaking change culture does not seem to change : it is still all or nothing approach. No automatic migration tools, no easily found rationale / explanation, no posts in D.announce - just an ordinary commit. No wonder any of more notable change is considered that scary.
