A few team developers is not a large enough test base for an important package that is to be installed and ran on _hundreds to thousands_ of user systems; I think you could reword future warnings to invite people to unmask and test this important package version bump, and then state it will be unmasked in X days if nothing bad gets reported. You might get away this time, but what if hell breaks loose next time? Besides that, as stated by others, such announcements are appreciated.
