Any chance we can delay the rollout of this? I suspect that this will break a number of tools, mine included. Giving just a week is kinda short notice.

I would like to insist in this part- the change wasn't made to annoy
users- we tried to provide compatibility where possible, but some
tools users observed reduced performance if something more complex
than a point select was being used, so we encourage to use the
non-compat ones for performance reasons when possible. Sorry for the
inconveniences- unlike an API, while we are happy to provide access to
the internal database format, we cannot always guarantee to be stable
over the years.
