I'm not sure it's necessity. They could fork it and revert this change if they really wanted. I doubt that would be the case.
@NagyDonat If you really want to make this a backward-compatible change, you could add a new bool checker option like `"enable-despite-this-checker-is-deprecated-and-will-be-removed"`, and leave the checker - until we branch off for clang-20 in mid January. But personally, I wouldn't want to wait for 4 months for removing an alpha checker.
We could reconsider this and clarify the policies if users complain that alpha checkers were removed without any notice.
