Agreed.

With Empathy we noticed things early in the release cycle
and thus could revert those changes in time and thus reefer those wanting
to use Empathy to install it manually.

With PAVC things got notice to late in the release cycle and thus those
that need
any functionality that PAVC does not provide should be refereed to
install the old application
manually and ask/or participate early in the release cycle to prevent
these kind
of situation from happening again.

I also think it should be considered a good working rule not to replace
application with a another application until that application provides
equal or better
functionality than the previous one. 

Just my 2cents.
