For the stable release, I would vote for backward compatibility: have "deprecated" libraries with the diodes as they are right now (footprints + symbols), plus "standards-compliant" libraries with the cathode at pin 1 and the anode at pin 2. It would not be good if old schematics change just because they are loaded in a new version of KiCad.
