1) I don't have a specific date for when this may start occurring, since this is about changes (that were supposed to be backwards-compatible) that we may need to make in the future which may not even be planned yet.

1) So it means that these breaking changes will not be made for another 2 months at least (as per the email)?

      Ok, so as I received the email on 30th June, I will presume that means that this cut off date is 30th August and there will be no changes before then.
