You could ask people at install time if they want their named.boot converted to named.conf and that would work for most people. But a lot of us have scripts that update that file and they need to be re-written to handle the new format. I think we need to wait until 8.x has been in circulation for a while before breaking several years worth of tools. I'd suggest 3.0 as a target for the new version. By the time that is released I would guess that most everyone who has automated DNS tools will have converted on their own.
