While I do feel your pain, and share it to some degree, I expect emacs to continue to offer settings for such things based on features, rather than versions or `some point in time'.  If you find that this takes up too much space in .emacs for you, it shouldn't be hard to put together an elisp package that contains all of those settings that you think should be disabled for `compatibility mode'; at that point, it's just a matter of submitting it to emacs-devel for inclusion (or simply relying on emacswiki.org or the upcoming package system, for example).
