People like Jonathan and myself just have to double up (or triple-up!)
because of the change. Try telling that to your bosses that the latest version of modperl is holding things back ('told you we should've used Java!').
Did your boss know that the "latest" version of mod_perl is actually a pre-release?
I'll agree that pre-release is a bad time to make API changes like this and it would be better if it'd be done during the beta. It's only when a piece of software is released that the developers are making the implicit promise to not break anything.
If you're going to run beta or pre-release code - you've got to accept the risks that go with that.
