Well, I don't want to write the code, I don't want to maintain it, and I strongly believe it shouldn't be in darcs long-term, because it's just one more configuration that we ought to test if we support. It might make a small amount of sense to have it in temporarily with an explicit decision that it'd be removed within a few months, but I don't think that the amount of hassle saved by a small number of developers being able to delay an upgrade that they should make at some point anyway can possibly outweigh the amount of hassle it would be to write and test the change.
