   I was not saying "lack of upgrade support" is harmful.  I was saying 
providing the user with a way to easily harm themselves would be when they 
believe they are improving the security of their system.
   
   > The only pain felt is when the user chooses to change this, and that would 
be pain they choose to self-inflict. Harm, to me, is something that a user 
could not avoid.
   
   Harmful or not, this is dangerous.  Best case scenario for an existing 
cluster would be that Accumulo just won't start.  Worst case would be locking 
users out of a system and having to re-initialize a completely new cluster.  I 
don't know what would happen without testing.
