wd.c

    #ifndef I_WANT_WD
    #error "You must really, really, really want to use this driver."
    #error "See UPDATING for details."
    #else
    ...
    #endif

If someone takes their existing config file and tries to build a kernel
from it, it will break.  

That meets every definition of "force CURRENT users to change their configs"
that I can think of.
