FWIW, specifying this command line option or asterisk.conf option, even
after it has been removed, should be fine.  It will just be ignored and no
new warnings will be generated, AFAICT.

On the surface, this looks like a change that shouldn't be made in a
release branch.  However, this really is an option that should have never
existed.  It's never the right thing to turn it off.  The change to make it
the only way it works is really the right thing to do.  It was equivalent
to an option called "make_things_work_properly=yes".
