Interesting approach. I think this is probably good, preventing 
migration when the compat plugin is enabled unless you specifically 
decide to.

I think the option may need another name, maybe --with-compat or something.

I think in the message we should use "enabled" instead of "on". That is 
the language of ipa-compat-manage.

The migration help should have a discussion of why this is a problem 
too, and what compat really is (provides a different view of the data to 
be compatible with non RFC2703bis systems).
