[development] Drupal 7 API Change notification: #builder_function/node form changes

*In trying to find a way to notify developers of D7 API changes, the best
solution we've come up with is to formally publish to the Drupal Development
Mailing List. API change notifications will occasionally be posted here with
a title starting with "Drupal 7 API Change notification"*

Recently the way *forms* use *#builder_function* was changed significantly,
and in many cases it should no longer be called.  (issue impact
summary<http://drupal.org/node/735800#comment-3101122>).
If your module does anything with #builder_function, you'll want to read
this carefully.

An additional note: If you are chasing HEAD in D7, you should subscribe to all
issues of the HEAD2HEAD <http://drupal.org/project/issues/head2head> module,
which is the best indicator of when your current D7 install is going to be
broken by a database change.

Thanks,
-Randy
