What you're seeing is an effect of the fact that free and open source
software doesn't stand still.  Expecting that things behave just like
they did just six months ago is not in line with how they actually
work.  This doesn't mean that you necessarily need to change what
you're doing if it works for you -- another nice effect of FOSS is
flexibility. ;-)
