+**BREAKING**: The export for the new backend system has been moved to be the `default` export.
+
+For example, if you are currently importing the plugin using the following pattern:
+
+```ts
+import { examplePlugin } from '@backstage/plugin-example-backend';
+
+backend.add(examplePlugin);
+```
+
+It should be migrated to this:
+
+```ts
+backend.add(import('@backstage/plugin-example-backend'));
