How about a variable that turns on or off spec enforcement (case #1 or
#2). On for 7.4, off for 7.5 the next release, and make it disappear
after that.

Enforcing spec seems like the least confusing mode to operate under,
especially given it could break simply by changing the plan -- which
happens automagically (seemingly random).
