Good evening, Why didn't you use the news utility to inform users about this change and possible transition steps/migration guide? This is a rather big change that might (or may not) require a bit of effort from non-power users to migrate their systems to the new backend. A short summary of http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-start-0.html would be nice but I guess it is too late for that since another major change occurred without advertising it properly to our users.
