What I'm asking for: if you change this to no longer be the default
URL, then please make it so that, by default, previous
site.name/index.php/articlename URLs *continue* to Just Work.

If someone innocently upgrades from the tarball, breaking legacy URLS
on their intranet strikes me as bad practice.
