And what the ESC thinks about this:

        + currently option is Never
           + it is dangerous currently (Heiko)
             + might need an update.
             + can re-calculate alien formats
           + Is there a good reason to break calcs ? (Michael)
           + no way to detect if you need re-calculation (Eike)
             + would be there always for Alien formats.
           + sometimes we have to calculate this (Eike)
             + can have some other wording, but …
        + suggestion is two-fold (Heiko)
           + not having a blocking dialog
             → info-bar is not controversial (Michael)
           + ask the user or not.
             → asking the user is controversial (Michael, Eike)
        + problem can be with files stored in an older version (Eike)
           + these can need re-calculating from an old version.
           + if we add a bug & then save it – things break (Kendy)
           + perhaps safest always recalculate – but poor performance (Eike)
              + could depend on the version – before 6.2.3 
                eg. but not a friend of that.
           + new, older + alien format options ? (Heiko)
              + not clear to the user why he should choose any of them (Eike)
           + should do something familiar (Michael)

So let's do the infobar as easyhack and reconsider the default independently
later.
