When MAJOR changes, as this was, are made to packages, these changes
need to be broadcast in prominent locations, such as this list.  This
was not and is not regularly done.  The knowledge only becomes
available after many people have many problems with a package that
"used to just work".

The list is not enough: many people think of asking somewhere, after they get "the problem". It would be better if the installer gave some warning, like a popup, same as the kernel does.
