  Yes, although do bear in mind that we've never documented the -v1 and -v2
options, so we're not honour-bound to support them forever.  (My understanding
is that they're mostly there as 'get out of jail free cards' in case we
discovered there was a problem with the default setting at any time.)

  Anyway, I'm happy with what you want to do for your users.  If you're going
to change the removal of the -v1 option so it gives a specific warning or
error (rather than just 'unknown option'), please post the tweaked version of
your patch before you commit it; if you're happy with the current version
as-is, then just go ahead.

    cheers,
