I was referring to earlier posts (as old as Don's dconf 2013 talk 
;))

However my complaint is not about the change itself (though I 
personally disagree with Don reasoning in that issue, it is a 
delicate matter) but about the fact that it is again done as a 
casual PR and our breaking change culture does not seem to change 
: it is still all or nothing approach. No automatic migration 
tools, no easily found rationale / explanation, no posts in 
D.announce - just an ordinary commit. No wonder any of more 
notable change is considered that scary.
