We announced that this would happen long ago. And, FWIW, it was approved

So, sorry, but we will obsolete the old packages and I'm afraid you will
need to deal with it. Just like everyone else.

Indeed. And in this transition period where we've been shipping both set
of packages, there has been a lot of confusion. I've witnessed that
myself. We just don't want that to happen in a released OS.
