I hate the multi-cycle compatibility-breaking dance as much as the next guy, but the whole reason I'm here is to solve a real problem which noobs are encountering. I on-board a lot of people with git-send-email and I've heard questions and confusions over this prompt at least 10 times in the past few years. Compatibility breakage is annoying but this is a real problem which real users are having real difficulty with, and the demographic of affected user may be particularly ill-equipped to deal with it on their own.
