This is a rather big change that might (or may not) require a bit of effort from non-power users to migrate their systems to the new backend. A short summary of http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-start-0.html would be nice but I guess it is too late for that since another=20 major change occurred without advertising it properly to our users.
