This is very developer dependant, howerver. Some developers think that
their package is from the gods and us mortals must take comes down the pipe.
With that attitude they feel that major changes in the architecture from one
minor release to the next need not have its own warning. This is a problem
because, as we all saw with ILOVEYOU, oft-repeated warnings are oft-ignored
warnings because they are routine.
