Yes, I'm well aware of this. The change now lives in the master
branch, and will happen when we release 8.0, hopefully in a not so
distant future.
We will document all incompatible changes in the release notes, as we
usually do. I expect third-party maintainers to read these notes.

There are several good reasons for this:
1) conflicting library names: we now have org-man.el (for links to man
pages) and ox-man.el (for exporting);
2) using the dedicated prefix ox- makes it clear that the library is
an export backend, the same way that the ob- prefix makes it clear
it is to support a language for Org Babel.
In general, the change is incompatible for third-part libraries by is
clearly useful for future maintainance, so the trade-off was in favor
of making it, and 8.0 is a good time for it.
Best,
