Anyone who adopted those new formats before even Debian started using
them at a large scale should expect small adjustments. I'm pretty sure
that someone who is so keen on testing bleeding-edge stuff can adjust
to this change and it's highly unlikely that this change will break a user
setup that is deployed in production at a large scale.
