Here's some information on Blizzard's next big content patch, in regards to U.I.:
In the next big content patch, there will be some changes to help improve the UI mod upgrade process.First, the dialog which pops up if the FrameXML files have been modified will be rewritten to be more clear and hopefully less scary.
Second, instead of automatically disabling addons, once you log into the game there will be a dialog asking whether you would like to try loading them anyway, or load the game with them disabled.
Third, either way you reply, you will get a dialog pointing you at the "addons" button so you can change your mind later if you run into problems or want to try loading out-of-date addons.
Thanks to everyone who has given feedback on the process. I know addon migration after a patch has been a real pain, and hopefully this will go a long way towards alleviating the problems.
