The sample config that requires attention is only applicable for new
installations.  If you do an upgrade, you keep your old configuration
file.  Having new behaviour with an old configuration file is
surprising, and avoiding surprises is always a good idea with security
software.  Look, in the end, you're right: System administrators
ultimately have responsibility for whatever they install.  However, I
think it's legitimate for admins to ask developers politely not to
surprise them.
