Comment:
It would have been nice to have some community input on the matter. While some discussion may have happened on IRC, it's apparent that not all of us have the time to spend on there. I was thinking that perhaps some sort of e-mailed newsletter whenever breaking changes like this occur, but @lemmi's suggestion of including it as an install message would probably be easier to manage. That plus some time for an RFC, especially for such a contraversial change.

I definitely recall something like this happening before. But it was for a breaking change with the package, rather than removal. (edit because I misread your comment).
