The surprise would still exist if you use clamscan and not clamdscan. This config file talk is a distraction from the basic point that the software changed in an extremely significant way, without appropriate warning. It wasn't a COMPLETE surprise, if you read the docs, but the difference in accuracy between what we were used to and the newer version was so large that it fundamentally changed the nature of the product, and that wasn't made sufficiently clear. I agree that any installed software is ultimately the responsibility of the admin, but this change was unnecessarily jarring for no particularly good reason. Even if you want to take a political stand on the nature of documentation or config files, there's still very little actual benefit to the change in question.
