This comes as a bit of a surprise (at a minimum a warning similar to branch warnings would have been nice) given the conversation herein where there was equal sides for and against this change. I do not consider the line in the release notes sufficient for this kind of change given the scale and scope it imposes. The release notes also do not indicate which release users should prepare for this change, simply that it will be that way in future releases. We have given users no major warnings nor reiterated this point to allow them to begin considering how to transition. We did not provide a transition document for users to consider during the deprecation period. From a development stand point, there has been no collaboration to coordinate all the various changes that have to be made to support this change. I'm afraid we will be doing some of our users and developers a disservice due to the feeling of abruptness of this without sufficient "loud" warnings and supporting documentation to given them time to prepare for migration. I like to believe users prefer to use the latest and greatest (and that we should be encouraging the use of) and we owe it to them to ensure we provide the smoothest runway possible to get them there. I am thinking about the Katello part of the community here as well which is a valid aspect of the ecosystem given the user base and how we integrate with Foreman core and a variety of plugins.
