So why is this the first time I'm learning about this plan?

And later it will be renamed to thermal_zone_device_register() again?

Can we just stop confusing people this way?

What would be wrong with changing both
thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() and
thermal_zone_device_register() together when we are ready? And why
can't the both be replaced with something line thermal_zone_register()
doing all of the necessary things in one go? Why do we have to make
confusing and redundant changes?
