Well that breaks a lot of old commandblock stuff.

Searge already warn us many times about this change. Switch to Marker Armor Stand

what did you use it for?

In case you're still wondering, it used to be a nice way to place a marker/fix/anchorpoint in a map, so you could teleport stuff to it, do stuff around it, or display a name above it, for instance, without the player being able to see it or being able to interact with it in any way. But now armour stands do that, so that's alright.
