[CentOS-devel] Vagrant CentOS 6 Boxes

[Vince Skahan]

Just release note it...
 - next revision note that it will be changing
 - revision after that do it and release note you did it.

Or you could crutch it for a release with a symlink but those crutches never seem to get removed.

Perhaps we could announce a date for actually implementing this change,
2 to 3 months from now (not sure what a reasonable transition time would
be) - this should be enough time for people impacted by this change to adjust their setups.  We could communicate this via an initial announcement on the centos, centos-announce, and language-specific user mailing lists, maybe followed by monthly reminders until the change occurs.  And explicitly state this change in the release notes on Atlas. 
  Maybe also a post on the Facebook group you mentioned on your blog?

Should we first ask on the CentOS user mailing lists for significant objections from existing users?

Yes, unfortunately.  Hopefully communicating this in advance will minimize the impact.
