Sounds sensible, thanks for working on this.

As far as I understood the transition is only for SONAME bumps which is
not the case for Python modules (even if I personally would think that
bumping versions of widely used modules has features of a transition
in terms of potential breakages).

In the dipy case I think we are safe since I realised this issue and in
turn also upgraded dipy to version 1.6 which seems to build and test
nicely.  We just should observe its migration closely.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
