Indeed. The basic problem here is that since the former lirc kernel modules was upstreamed to the kernel, there is a lack of communication between the kernel team and lirc. In the best of worlds, the kernel folks should communicate things affecting lirc - but their primary focus seems to be the in-kernel decoding. That said, the upstreaming of the lirc kernel modules happened long time ago (> 6 years) and IIRC it was communicated the usual ways i. e. README and so on. I would probably have missed that as well if I was in your situation though, making such a major update.
