in the response they receive, they can check if the `wbsubscribers` output is 
nonempty, and use it in that case; if it’s empty, fall back to `subscribers`. 
Then they don’t need to care when exactly we deploy the change.
  
  @Michael pointed out that this doesn’t really comply with the notification 
policy of the stable interface policy: the breaking change needs to be testable 
on Test Wikidata for two weeks before it happens on Wikidata. So we need a 
config flag in Wikibase after all. (API users can still write their code in a 
way that’s compatible with either response, as outlined above, but we need to 
enable them to test their code against the new response before it’s deployed on 
Wikidata.)
