I tried to explain that upstream (both the package and CRAN) have no real
handle on this so it is by _definition_ what you refer to (in a denigrating
tone) an uncoordinated transition.
In which a rebuild is good enough for upstream. And I have done one for my
affected packages. My role ends there. If you guys think you must ambush your
users and leave known broken packages in that state then that is your choice.
At least you are saying so out loud. I'll will retreat and focus on things I
can control.
