I don’t really know, because I haven’t followed the different changes in enough detail or ever used a custom system, however maybe it is just a little taste of the teased upcoming apocalyptic changes for 0.13?
My guess is that things will break, but also that some things really need to break, or not exist in some particular form at all. So maybe we need to keep track of certain use cases, but not necessarily expect that those will be satisfied in one particular way going forward. Meaning maybe those things will be re-implemented in a different way.
