Thanks for reporting this bug. I've prepared a fix[0] but it will need a sponsored upload.

This makes sense to me. My only concern is if it's really justifiable to put extra load on the release team for something that seems minor. If you think it is, please feel free to raise the severity. The fix is already on the git repo. :-) > I'm also wondering if src:emacs should also do something like provide > a NEWS file and/or check user config for 'package-initialize' and warn > in the modeline. I think a note on the NEWS file could be useful. It would have helped me for sure, as I wasn't aware of the package-initialize change. By the way, I think you may have the fastest record on the time it takes between adopting a package and getting a new bug reported on it. :-) Best, -- Raúl Benencia
