Yes, this is my suggestion. Make it backward compatible for some period of time. Notice how 1326 complains if you use the old form but generates no warning using the new. That's my expectation. Then at some later point, 3.6, 4.0, etc... we could remove all the deprecated options and just go with the new/clean way (which I agree is better). It's more work for us but better for the user.
