Yep /me guilty too, I've been promoting using 1.9 also here in The 
Netherlands (actually to be able our national wmts services...)

Good idea! But isn't that 'too late' already? A user seeing that splash 
already installed the version breaking his eggs over his working 
version.... Or we should start showing it now already before the real 
api-breaks?

Maybe we do the warning in one of the first screens of the msi-installer 
also?

The osgeo4w does not have a possibility to warn users/upgraders is it? 
Maybe put the nightlies for osgeo4w on hold for a while?

And all qgis bloggers unite ;-) Let's all blog about this change...
