So far we have come across one change that will impact a log of

4.19 has warned about this during the build already.

As an aside, RPM has warned about this since 4.18, and nobody noticed?
RPM 4.18 entered Factory near Christmas 2022:

Not completely true. The first introduction of the warning message I could find was PR #2352 from January 2023. The first release of this and a bunch of corrections and cleanups afterwards which made it into Tumbleweed is 4.19. Which is not even a month old in Tumbleweed. Since then we get this deprecation warning and are already discussing it. The backport to 4.18.1 as part of PR #2406 was never submitted to Tumbleweed.
