I don't know what the proper solution is (other than introducing user preferences, like bug 28369 suggests, is not the answer)...but the status quo of what we had is better than this half-assed solution that *nobody* likes.
=== Configuration changes in 1.17 ===
* DatabaseFunctions.php that was needed for compatibility with pre-1.3
extensions has been removed.
-* $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts controls whether autocreation of accounts is logged
- to new users log.
* $wgAllowImageTag can be set to true to whitelist the <img> tag in wikitext.
* (bug 12797) Add $wgGalleryOptions for adjusting of default gallery display
options.
