"People" is fine but "Anyone" would be better.

I don't like that: passive voice should be avoided if possible ;-)
Seeing as this has become controversial, here's how I would rewrite
it as a native speaker:
Before version 1.0, isync refetched messages that were deleted
locally. Some users may rely on that bug. Since 1.0, messages that
are deleted locally will be deleted remotely as well - they will not
be refetched. Anyone expecting the old buggy behavior may lose data.
However, I may have misunderstood the warning.
