I agree you. But, better than "a large statement in the changelog", what about the pear installer issueing warnings/asking questions at install time ? This would be similar to the famous debian's dpkg and could be achieved by a new <warning> tag in package.xml and/or pre/post-install scripts.
Sounds like a good feature to me. However, such BC breaks should only happen in pre 1.0 packages....
I think the "alpha" label should be enough to warn people that they should expect to have to change their code for every release until beta. This is the meaning of alpha. Greg
