And this will only affect those who tried to use preliminary versions of the new dpkg.
Guillem is doing the Right Thing, again. Although I'd expected some preinst sanitization scripts, just to avoid bad news. Many users just switch to experimental (or try third party debs) because it feels more Ubuntu like... and they do not actually follow any mailing list, not LWN.

Those users will learn very fast to not do it. You are not even supposed to use unstable without being subscribed to debian-devel-announce, let alone experimental.

I've used Unstable as my primary home OS for a little under a decade, and never had to reinstall it. I'm not and didn't know I should've subscribed to debian-devel-announce.
I have been occasionally reading Planet Debian and recently LWN.net though.
