Well, there was *some* warning in the release notes:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.3R/relnotes.html

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/relnotes.html

Of course, the fmake/bmake changes are buried in a whole
pile of other changes, so users may have found this easy to miss.
It's hard to describe the impacts of changes like this, and
have readable release notes.  Oh well. :(
