I agree.  Either give a deadline and switch everyone, with documentation
on how to set the default per vhost, or leave as is, with documentation on
how to change it.

Having two classes of users with hidden defaults depending on when members
joined would be a hassle to implement and a huge pain to support down the
line when it's forgotten about.
