Apologies for the long delay.

Would you be willing to try and adjust some of the failing dependents?
Of those listed above, only 4 are currently broken:

So it seems like there’s a serious regression here.

As a stopgap, we can start by keeping version 1.5.0 in addition to the
new version, and use 1.5.0 in dependents that really need it.

Thoughts?

TIA,
