What comes to mind is how we brought down people clusters and made sstables
unreadable with the introduction of the chunk_length configuration in 1.0.
It wasn't about how tested the compression libraries were, but about the
new configuration itself.  Introducing silent defaults has more surface
area for bugs than introducing explicit defaults that only apply to new
clusters and are so opt-in for existing clusters.
