I'm with Ken on this one:  the older format lets us use the latest IDE 
with either engine, but the new format limits it to only the most recent 
engine.  I do projects in both, and when I work in v2.7 I have it set up 
to save in the older format.

I would vote for imposing no limit that isn't absolutely necessary. 
Saving in the older format allows a choice that the newer format doesn't.
