No.  It's somewhat ugly and most setups can get along with a client-connect
script that just sets 

   comp-lzo no, 
   push "comp-lzo no"
or
   compress stub-v2
   push "compress stub-v2"

depending on whether the client sends IV_COMP_STUBv2 or not.

It will cause warnings about "I have comp-lzo in my client config but
there is no comp-lzo in the server configs", so there is a bit of extra
support effort (which "compress migrate" mitigates by rewriting OCC
option strings) but if a user *really* looks at their logs and sees
the warning, it can be easily explained ("we are migrating away from
using compression by default").
