yup.  We shouldn't remove the existing parameter, which people might be
using already.

What I meant was that it was a mistake to add the "noswapaccount" in
the first place.  We should have made it "swapaccount=0", because that
would leave open the later option of reversing the default, and
enabling "swapaccount=1".

It also give us the option of adding "swapaccount=2"!  Perhaps to
enable alternative swap accounting behaviour.
