I'm not a big user of profile spells but in general this makes the most
sense to me. If we wanted to get fancy we could have the fake e/e-profile
spells check the old spell version's stored preferences and default to the
right version of e.

e17 is a rewrite. The main dev team is definitely behind e17 over e16.
e16 didn't have any active work done on it til the last year or so when kwo
took it over. However, given that e17 still lacks a lot of basic things, I
think we should stick to defaulting new e installations to e16.
