I just discussed the matter with my office mate Arianna. We would favour
the following solution:
- default of 1 for the decoder
- error message about new format from MERT and other scripts

The reason is that we have lots of fully trained old systems lying
around that we'd like to use without modifications. We also have old patched
versions of the decoder, which we sometimes still use.
On the other hand, we don't think MERT needs to be able to deal with the
old format. If I retrain a system, I can also adapt the config file
format.

Does this sound reasonable to you?
