I'm curious about this. Are people with that model of router simply unable to change their SSID then? If not, surely if their neighbor's SSID is the same as theirs and this is causing them issues then the correct course of action would be to change their SSID and not cause everyone to lose what I personally think is an essential piece of functionality. Changing of encryption methods is actually quite common (no, I'm not saying it's done every day but it's certainly not unexpected behavior).
