Yep, that's basically the same conflict which started the whole issue ("choosing a setting for everybody else"). You know my opinion about the issue, but since you are the one who implements it and there is indeed partial overlap with "\save_user_preferences true" go ahead :) Cosmetic thing - the naming "save_user_preferences" is confusing precisely because there are diverging opinions what user vs document pref is so maybe using for file format something like vcs_simplify_format or similar would be better.
