So this means publicity or announcing the change. And a roadmap item on the website for users only focused on download.

My reluctance to spread the namespace change over a number of builds
is simply due to the work we then place on our users.  If, after each
release, they need to refactor and/or retest their own code (which
might be an extensive task) then asking them to do that multiple times
is a big ask.  Warning them that in X months times, if they want to
continue using River, they're going to have to go through one big hit
of pain is (in my perhaps flawed opinion) a better approach.

For a user, one session of fixing the imports should be the limit.
