Sorry, but when you break other packagers workflows, the least you can
do is provide a clean solution to make them work again. Making a change
and telling affected people to "fix it themselves" is just not
excellent.

A better way would have been to introduce a new macro and migrate all
packages to it gradually. Then, after giving a sufficient grace period,
at some point you could make the old macro error out pointing to
current documentation.
Currently, I have top adapt all my cmake-using specs that were doing
out-of-tree builds across Fedora and EPEL using the %cmake3 macro.
This doesn't work anymore:
mkdir -p build
cd build
%cmake3 \
..
%make_build
And that makes me grumpy unless you can provide a clean way to make
this work again across Fedora and EPEL without any %ifdefs.
