I agree. I checked all the breakage
Unfortunately, neither got the debian/tests/control dependencies,
so I had the pleasure to receive an RC bug in my package, which used
pcregrep, this short before the freeze, with no advance notice at all.
I'm sorry that my MBF didn't find the issue; presumably the package
concerned didn't specify a Build-Depends on pcre3?
There was always going to be a tension between giving people enough time
to update their packages before pulling pcre3 (if I'd pulled it right
after the last release, that would have been more disruptive), and not
doing it so close to the release that unexpected edge cases couldn't be
fixed in time.
