2026.q1 : Deprecation of Site Template Propagation

For a big client we are trying to upgrade from 2025.q1 to 2026.q1 but I see that, in the deprecated list :

Site Template Propagation Site template propagation is no longer available. If you make changes to your site template, you must manually propagate the changes to sites based on it.

My client has hundred of sites and all are from a unique site template.
I cannot imagine to go in each sites to click on propagate button !
Why this decision and not a simply option to enable/disable propagation ?

For information, we do not activate full propagation but only at the first time a user go in one of the 100 sites. (like Liferay suggests)

Can you explain how can I do to force propagation of a site in 2026.q1 without navigate to the right option in each sites ?

Is it possible to automate this via an option or an endpoint ?
