IMHO it's not harsh at all but provides the best migration path for the users instead. Create a the replacement and in the old one point out the replacement and live yourself in the new world. After some months or years you could print out DEPRECATED warnings in the old module and later take it off completely although that would not even be neccessary. This way you completely abstract away the DarkPAN which you will never know. Think of Class::DBI -> DBIx::Class.
