Well, if you're giving me an opportunity to not drag this out into a
multi-phase rollout, then I'll take it :)
Another option is to forbid an unknown value (which is almost certainly
(1) wrong and (2) causing users to unexpectedly use plaintext when they
expected encryption), file a CVE, and pitch it as a security fix - then
we can expect a reasonably quick rollout of the change to the ecosystem
at large.
