No, that was not a need for an urgent fix. AFAIU this was for a testing image 
for software under development. The new window switcher layout for PA is only 
integrated in current KWin master, which has not yet entered the testing 
phase. KWin itself does not yet support any configuration update from 4.8 to 
current master (see Bug 296775 [1]). The plan is to have one upgrade script to 
handle all changes in configuration - which could have included PA as well.

I understand that you had been concerned about the situation - and rightly you 
are: broken updates are an unpleasant experience. I am also not questioning 
the need for the change, but the workflow of how the change got introduced. 
And I see here potential to improve the situation which will go to the active 
mailinglist in a dedicated mail.

Cheers
Martin
