You are basically right, even if keeping compatibility with old format is a good policy, just to be on the safe side.
Beside, you already have the code needed for the task, it's simply a matter of adding a small toggle (or maybe you can even avoid the toggle, and "hide" it in a line of the cmpro.ini and only expert users will use it.)
