I think we cannot and should not care about such users. For APIs, the policy is clear "downstream is on their own". Upstream contributors consider usage and can be polite by giving transition period.
This patch is removing options, so the bar is probably higher. If proprietary users want to keep features (I am a bit unclear how we should draw such a line), they should engage with the community.
Otherwise, unused features are subject to removal.
