I can't explain why, but I feel like the old index format should stay by default. I feel like I'd rather a (slightly) faster index, and switch to the compound one when/IF I encounter problems, than have a safer, but slower index, and never realize that there is a faster option available.
Weak argument, I know, but some instinct in me thinks that the current mode should remain.
