A change that needs to wait until a major version bump implies that
it is possibly compatibility breaking.  So "resend IT", implying one
single step, sounds like a bad sign that the users won't have any
transition period.  Shouldn't we do the usual two-step deprecation
process, i.e. warn when an unconfigured user pushes a superproject
that may be ahead of a submodule about upcoming planned default
change with the first patch, and then flip the default in the second
patch while dropping the warning?
