I don't want to be too prescriptive with the solutions. However, clearly /some/ kind of orderly transition is necessary. News before, an elog, etc. And that news needs to be timely - not 12 months before stable mysteriously breaks one day, unless it is safe to make the change before the update. I'd leave it up to the maintainer to decide whether it is more work to coordinate the timing around all the communications or to have a more graceful transition so that the timing isn't as critical. -- Rich
