for *5 YEARS* this was a potential issue.
and now, it has been necessary to push it within 30 hours?
Are you reading your own posts? Are you really ready to backup this?
sorry, but this is not serious.
please read my referred comment in track:

I highly suspect no action will be taken here by “WP itself”, so it’s now up to “the community”
We can (as community) ask for 2 things:
– Stop auto-updates (it’s a free world after all)
– Provide backwards (secure) compatibility for this famous “API Update”:

(which I believe is not a planned API Update but a bare mistake)
Since WP is a open community, I think it could be possible to achieve this.
