COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am having a little trouble reading Appendix A.

If I understand correctly, the idea is:

- In version N, you have a behavior X
- In version N+1, you introduce a setting S with default value S=X
- In version N+2 you change the default to S=!X

However, the text says that "installations upgraded from release N+1 will
adhere to the previous insecure behavior"

Do you need to say that in N+1, you save the value S=X so that in N+1, it
continues to apply?
