 Fine with me as well. Should we make it a warning on RELENG_6 and an
 error on HEAD, or a warning on both. The former being be what I was
 planning to do, ie. remove support for "NO" in HEAD but issue a message
 saying semantics have changed. The latter would mean identical code in
 both HEAD and RELENG_6 (so "NO"-compatibility in both branches), but
 we'd need a reminder to remove this "NO"-support in HEAD once RELENG_7
 is branched.
