And what about PHP users, who will see their SAX parsers disappear, |
| 8 |
because they need to change USE=xml to USE=expat, and no-one's told them |
| 9 |
about it? :) |

I feel really bad that you're going off and making this change during |
| 12 |
the holiday season, when IT departments are going to be understaffed at |
| 13 |
best. If a security-related release of affected packages had to happen, |
| 14 |
your un-announced change could end up breaking production boxes. |

I'm also feeling really bad that no-one seems to think it's important to |
| 17 |
tell our users that we're making this change before the change is made. |

At least one week's notice in the usual places would be better than |
| 19 |
nothing. |
