That'd amount to leaving existing systems unchanged. That's an option
that I didn't like and initially rejected, but yeah, it's probably better.
I'll wait a bit more for feedback and update the proposal a bit later
to leave existing systems alone (i.e. systems which have either nobody
or nfsnobody already defined in the old style).
