How about the opposite of Python's `from future import ...'? Have a ~/.mh_profile entry like `old-fogey' or `stuck-in-1989' as a global decision maker when code changes to support both old and new ways. Wouldn't help when the code to support `old' is being discarded because keeping both isn't practical, but for the smaller choices of defaults, etc., you could set the flag once and then forget about it?
