To me this seems *much* better than the "do nothing" option.

People who don't want it can just delete the file-local var,
or change it to specify a different mode.

It won't directly help people with pre-existing diary files,
but if the change is called out in NEWS then those users can
be alerted to the fact that they might want to make that
change manually.
