It is something we forget a lot.. but is a reason why older maintainers of XYZ software (Mozilla, X11, gcc, kernel, etc) would make sure that a heads up email about a major version change goes out. If you put out a heads up that "tomorrow I will be pushing Firefox 57BETA into updates-testing" you could have given people heads up and would have also learned from someone that updates-testing is on for everyone in the post-branch world. While in this case it probably would not have affected your decision, in other cases it might have made it clearer that you needed to do so after a different time. It would have also queued in people to either skip updates or know why their workflow died.
I agree with you here, I should post the head up. I agree I underestimated that and I'm sorry for it.
ma.
In either case, people would be better informed. [1] https://opensource.com/business/10/3/five-questions-about-building-community-chris-blizzard-mozilla
