I'm really disappointed we don't have a smoother way to handle this. Historically we have allowed forward slash in names, and there are several component vendors who use them in their part numbers. It's a shame we can't continue to allow them in names, but even if we don't I feel like we should adapt old libraries properly. You're right that we can't _silently_ change them but we should offer to do it for the user. Otherwise people are going to be surprised and not understand why their parts suddenly don't load when 5.0 is released.
