Thank you for enlightening us. This overloaded and contentious word will be replaced.
I don't think "UR DOIN IT WRONG" is an entirely correct assessment, however. Much of this change can be considered refactoring wrt to the high-level public API. For instance, I believe basemap only had to change a handful of lines of code to work with the transforms changes. It's "Refactoring with some exceptional edge cases", perhaps? At the lower levels, where matplotlib developers are concerned, however, there may be some necessary changes, and that's what the API_CHANGES and other warnings are for. And in fact, the Wikipedia entry you point to makes references to lower-level interfaces being changed as the result of refactoring.
