From my user experience and what I see on a number of coworkers, users tend to make big jumps when they need a new feature, so in practice, not offering the option in a version or two would probably not affect most users, especially the ones still relying on the old behaviour. So I don't see much benefit in waiting for repurposing the option.
Just my 2 cents, Willy
