But the weatherbaloon patch from me was equally bad in another sense.  I
was only showing where the change should go, and not what the precise
wording should be.

The message triggers not just for people who _do_ use and want to keep
using matching semantics (iow, old timers), for whom the weatherbaloon
wording is adequate, but also for people who are new and do not have
anything configured, majority of which are _suspected_ to be better off
using "current" setting (if we don't suspect that, we won't be talking
about possibly switching the default in the future).

So I would imagine the actual wording should at least explain that there
are two plausible choices, and people who want to get used to the upcoming
default earlier would want to set it to "current", while others who want to
keep the current default would want to set it to "matching", to avoid
surprises.
