I think you must quite possibly be the only person on this list who has not 
noticed the 223 emails containing "IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PEOPLE RUNNING TRUNK" 
in the subject line over the past 9 days discussing precisely this change.

I sympathise with you - I really do - I do not agree with the changes which 
have occurred, the reasons for them, or the lack of discussion with the 
community before they were implemented, but I find the fact that you haven't 
noticed they have already been done and have been announced here quite 
remarkable.

Excellent request - I'm surprised that the powers-that-be who have implemented 
these changes haven't simply done this as a matter of course.

I see no mention of such a list in the bug report (how ironic that a bug 
report gets filed to announce the introduction of a bug into the software...) 
which was quoted in the original announcement of this fait accompli to the 
list:
