Once again I feel the need to point out that this change is no worse
than upgrading from XFree to X.org, or from GCC2/3 to GCC3/4. Those
changes also "broke"* many existing programs, build processes, and
scripts, but we made them for the greater good.

* "broke" in this context meaning "exposed existing previously-hidden
brokenness in". The changes did not actually break anything (with few
exceptions like posix echo), they simply brought to light problems
that have always existed in those packages.
