In the long term, you are probably right :-(

I would simply like to have old scripts continue to plot the same way.
As an example, look at <http://wnet.isti.cnr.it/software/damatfrc>.  You
see a plot there, where the line colours are automatic, while the dot
colours are chosen to match those of the lines.  Once 2.9.10 becomes the
current version and I upgrade my system, that page will look ugly.

If I add text to that page making reference to the line colours as they
are and to dots which are the same colours as the relevant lines, the
text will become wrong.

Same would happen to descriptions of plots with the 2.9.9 default
legend.

I understand that your change is probably the right way to go everything
considered, yet I would like to have a way to keep the old behaviour for
existing scripts...
