Understood, but more concerned about users upgrading. This looks to be 
the first time we have explicitly broken a users existing configuration 
on upgrades.  In the past we shy'd away from this, but personally if it 
is for the better that is good enought for me.

However, I'm am fearful of the onslaught of 'I just upgraded to Asterisk 
12 and my parking lots are broken' posts to the mailing lists.  Hence my 
questions about some sort of notification to the end users there 
configuration was wrong.
