Not at all.
They will not need to take back any changes. They will need to add some
kind of compatibility to their packages. e.g. if we choose the symlinks
solution they will need to add the little code that creates/removes the
symlink.
The step this people have taken is in the right direction. It's just that
they are exposing how annoying this issue is without proper handling.
