I hate to say it but I think this is too risky for 7.2.  We have a
problem that needs fixing, but seeing as it was broken in 7.1.X as well,
and we are just now realizing it, I think the best bet would be to put
in some code to throw an error for invalid combinations of -F and -o and
keep this for 7.3.

I will wait to see what others say.
