Change in UI when a package name matches multiple registered packages?

Tooling Package Management
1

We have a private registry, and we have a few packages with names that are the same as different packages registered in the General registry. For example, we have a package called Rotations.

Through Julia 1.10, if a user did pkg> add Rotations, the user would get a menu like:

(@v1.10) pkg> activate --temp
  Activating new project at `/var/folders/w7/c8k0zh5x5pv1hkvr34rk18gh0000gp/T/jl_pKKoVC`

(jl_pKKoVC) pkg> add Rotations
There are multiple registered `Rotations` packages, choose one:
 > Registry: General - Repo: https://github.com/JuliaGeometry/Rotations.jl.git - UUID: 6038ab10-8711-5258-84ad-4b1120ba62dc
   Registry: Private - Repo: <url> - UUID: <uuid>

With Julia 1.11.1, the menu no longer shows up:

(@v1.11) pkg> activate --temp
  Activating new project at `/var/folders/w7/c8k0zh5x5pv1hkvr34rk18gh0000gp/T/jl_T4tbK6`

(jl_T4tbK6) pkg> add Rotations
ERROR: there are multiple registered `Rotations` packages, explicitly set the uuid

Was this intentional?

Iā€™m going to guess that this broke when we split Pkg out frlm the standard library and separated it from the REPL. It does not need to stay broken though.
