OK but this removes all mentions of a rename? I've just been bitten by this |

Yeah, not sure what a good solution here is. |
|
Maybe we just mention it in the release notes? |
|
I propose to fix the problem by reverting the removals and throws: #196001
If we don't provide a window during which things don't break, we're inevitably causing a lot of pain, especially when 3rd party projects are involved. I explain it in a bit more detail in the PR. |

If We should expose this attrset in Nixpkgs itself, but third party repos may want to polyfill that with an expression like the above. |
