Re: commit (head): fix 7011

This has happened several times now (last time was with the string
things). In the future, when you make api changes like that, if you
aren't going to fix the plugins yourself, at least let us know that
they're broken, so we find out _before_ mg is trying to release and has
to do it himself.

Thanks
