It seems to me that we owe users an announcement on the mailing list so that they know that this is coming. They can then download a development snapshot to see what it will look like.

Coping with the delicacies introducing further challanges users, which might be even more difficult than this medium sized incompatibility.

The difference of a fully integrated release bundle and "a development snapshot" is increasing more and more -- since the bundles are getting so advanced. I would not like to see the clear distinction between production quality releases and arbitrary snapshots diluted. Some users might even think that a snapshot is always the latest and greatest thing, while in reality it ages much faster than proper releases.
