There was a problem hiding this comment.
We should pull the same trick as #430969 here too.

See #412768 (comment) for context. Totally untested, needs docs, could be a bikeshed magnet, would need eventual follow‐up with a tree‐wide and staged warnings/errors, etc., but putting it out there. This would also currently break
versionCheckHook’s default for any non‐migrated package, so we’d have to decide whether we want to pull it in as a full attribute for compatibility for now, or else couple reducing use of thepnamedefault to liftingmainProgramout. Also if this eventually gets merged and I see people bikeshedding about moving it in unrelated PRs rather than automating it I’ll lose it.Things done
