Description DJ Houghton CLA 2010-09-23 16:29:06 EDT 
See bug 326090.

The ProfileChangeOperation class was API in 3.6 and its #getProfileChangeRequest method returned the type ProfileChangeRequest. PCR was internal provisional and marked as @noreference. 

In 3.7 we have moved this class to be in a true internal package and replaced the method return type with the API interface IProfileChangeRequest.

Clients were able to reference this method (and not break API rules) and assign the returned object to an IProfileChangeRequest. But they should be recompiled since the method signature (return type) has changed.
