I'd be very happy if I could:

I'm all in favor of restoring the old behavior with a switch available
to turn on the new one.

Although a big fat warning message at fetch or build phase when operating on
a port with conflicts wouldn't go amiss.
Agreed. A warning would give time to interrupt a big distfile fetch or
build without taking that option away by default, or encouraging
disabling conflict checks altogether.
