While I do feel your pain, and share it to some degree, I expect emacs to 
continue to offer settings for such things based on features, rather than 
versions or `some point in time'.  If you find that this takes up too much 
space in .emacs for you, it shouldn't be hard to put together an elisp package 
that contains all of those settings that you think should be disabled for 
`compatibility mode'; at that point, it's just a matter of submitting it to 
emacs-devel for inclusion (or simply relying on emacswiki.org or the upcoming 
package system, for example).
