In fact, this already HAS happened with recent changes to transaction.scm. 
Changes to the settings regarding inclusion of transaction detail got changed, 
forcing me to go through every saved report that I had that used the 
transaction report as its basis (by the way, there are numerous other standard 
reports that behind the scenes are based on the transaction report). It was 
quite a surprise, and there was no warning or guidance given ahead of time.

I ultimately was able to work out the problem and its solution, but it was 
quite frustrating at the time.
