Let me add some comments, as a very-long-time user.
The problem I encountered has to do with auto-insert-tkld.el a package
that dates back to 1988, and still works and does the job it was
designed for.
Now renaming a functionality breaks down older packages (and in this
particular case I would have preferred if that hook (or function) had
been called find-file-not-found-hook-functions, or something like this,
because it makes it easier for the user to pin down the problem.
I recently slowed down in trying out the latest emacs versions (that is
master), just because of this issue: renaming functions and variables will
cause me to spend maybe a couple of days fixing things.
Don't get me wrong, if there is a new exciting feature, like full BIDI
support or prettify-symbols-mode, I will try it out.
But nowadays I only upgrade if the packages I use most, like auctex and
orgmode require it.
I wished there was compatibility file, in which old for some reason
obsolete variables, functions etc would go so that the user you upgrade
more swiftly.
