That was the agreed upon action when we discussed adding these options:
the option defaults to on, to make upgrades less likely to break, and default
to off when installing new systems.  I'm not sure how else we can minimize
breaking old installations while encouraging new users to get used to not
using the old syntax.  If you have suggestions, I'm certainly open to hearing
them.

I believe so, yes.  However, using the version numbers should allow us to
work with multiple version changes in the future.
