   I mean that the new code still can read the old config after we add IPv6 
support.

   Yes, the version is the mininal requirement. Once we announce this feature, 
the user may select to use the binary format.

   It is very easy to cherry-pick the patch once this PR get merged. I don't 
think it's so critical to rush it into release 10.0. Especially, this PR 
contain the code to save/load the user data. It's always the highest issue to 
ensure the use never lose their data in any situation.
