I have regularly had to fix schematics after updating KiCad (due to changed symbols). My impression is that eeschema updates the cache from the library. So if the symbol is updated in the library, it will be re-cached.

It allows the designer to selectively update to newer versions of symbols or footprints.

I advise users of whatever EDA suite to collect symbols and footprints that they rely on, into a local library, and to put that library in version control. When working on a new project, you can the global libraries for symbols and footprints that you lack (in your local copy) and whether there are updates to the ones you already have.

Now why when we take action people wake up all of a sudden? I understand that when you are using a nighly build, you can expect disruptive changes. This, however, is a change that would make the next stable release "break" designs from the former stable release. In addition, there are more users of KiCad than there are developers of KiCad, and the users may not follow the developers' mailing list.
