Well we rearrange U/I even across point releases (if it fixes bugs) so merely 
removing a useless stat is not a big concern, as long as the overall 
functionality is still comparable to what was present before. Removing the 
number might even be judged as a U/I improvement (why show something neither 
the user nor developer will need except possibly for bug triage?).

The release notes is the big thing, I would expect packagers are tracking that 
Wiki page or web page as they are put together during the release series so 
that they can make preparations ahead-of-time.

The only other thing you'd want to do is to send an email to the kde-packager 
mailing list informing them of the change and any action that might be needed 
or desirable on their part to ensure a smooth transition for their users. The 
mailing list is moderated so expect that; your message will make it through 
regardless for this topic.
