I vote for defaulting the warning to off.   If that proves to be too
problematic, I'd take that as a sign that this whole change is not as
low-impact as we're hoping, and maybe consider a rethink.

​Do we want to have three states?  On, Off, and Auto?  We can then change what Auto means in a point-release while letting people who have chosen On or Off have their wish.

Auto could also consider some other data - like how long ago the database was initialized​...

I would vote for Auto meaning On in the .0 release.
