Thank you! Note that in this case, thanks to feedback from the
reviewers, the API was not "broken" in the end; a deprecated variable is
acting in place of the removed one (and emits a warning upon use). It's
not functionally equivalent though, so it was good anyway to have it
communicated.
Have a good week,
