Hi Max: Thanks for sharing your recommendations. I think the difference between yours and mine is the difference in strategy between "move to the better format when you have a good opportunity" vs. "if it ain't broke don't fix it". My advice was based on the assumption that darcs-1-format works for most people, and that hashed-format works for most other people. ;-)
I was tailoring my suggestions for "casual" darcs users, i.e. people who are not particularly motivated to explore and debug and contribute to darcs itself, but who just want to use a convenient revision control tool. For those users, I think it is important that (a) they have a simple recipe that they can follow and (b) they understand the backwards- compatibility implications of following it. On the other hand, I don't disagree with your suggestions, I just think they may be unnecessary for some casual users.
