-------------------------------------

Hi Marvin, thanks for reviewing it.

... but I still think the message is a little too aggressive. There are a lot
of people just using ye olde StandardAnalyzer, and they don't need to reindex.
We don't need to spread our own FUD.

are you sure? StandardAnalyzer uses LowerCaseFilter, i did not check to see if 
any casing properties have changed.

Can we change it to say "Analyzers", and then refer people to the docs for
their specific Analyzer? Alternatively, should that notification just contain
a complete list of the affected classes?

Basically I am trying to be ambiguous, because I'm not sure what all is 
affected without doing some significant analysis!
I will do this, if its the right thing though.
