Agreed, however ...

The problem is backward compatibility. All those Amanda folks out there
depending on the default behavior are going to be upset when what used
to work starts failing, especially if they have automated methods or
non-technical staff doing the work (i.e. procedural documentation has
to be changed).
I have a note to fix amrecover/amindexd so at least a proper error
message is generated, but haven't had time to look into it yet.
