Thanks for breaking my website without warning. I was out most of the day
at a customer's site and didn't find out my site was broken until that
evening when I read emails from customers complaining that they couldn't use
the site.

This is the second time this year you guys have done a 'minor' upgrade that
wasn't supposed to break anything and that broke stuff anyway.

Why can't you just give us a heads up that the change is coming? Pete used
to give us weeks or months of warning when any change was coming so we could
be ready. Apparently no more. :^(
