Yeah, that and I helped push the fact that THIS needed brought BEFORE 
the release too. I guess it goes to show no matter how far in advance 
the warning(s) are, people just don't read them or care about "them"... 
The warnings were posted on the bulletin boards in advanced to wake up 
plugin authors and such about various changes, and the possibility of 
plugin breakage... It's not the "developer's fault" ...
