I don't know how common ACPI enumerated I2C hwmon devices are but I guess they exists since Dustin notices this issue and wrote "With that change, /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0-004a, for example, became /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-PNPXXXX:xx".
I wouldn't take my particular use case as evidence they are common, or even they really exist. I got here because I loaded a hwmon driver using the _DSD/PRP0001 mechanism in ACPI. In that case, those devices have never worked with 'sensors' Therefore, in that context, this change is just fixing a bug.
I can't say much about other apps writing against the current sysfs names. 18 months seems like a long time.
