IMO providing the old behaviour is useless, but could be nice to have since it should be easy to do and the xwiki.cfg parameter is already available to trigger it or not (default is disabled already). Assuming the reference will contains the whole hierarchy is correct (if compliance mode is disabled), the implementation of the space hierarchy will have to ensure that document with different space hierarchy are different documents anyway.
