btw we were considering the change on new installs only, where upgrades
would use the previous value.

But then Sumit raised a good point that even a clean install doesn't
equal a green-field environment -- it can be a new replica in an
existing environment..

So right now we're leaning towards keeping the same defaults (/home/%d/%u)
and only enabling the user to select the new behaviour (/home/%o)
