Summary

Not sure whether it should be a warning or info or whatever. In most cases it shouldn't matter to the user..
The idea is to have this option available for at least one version to allow users to make the switch
in a stable version. Afterwards, the option will be removed and only the new behavior exists.

43–46	Adding `TIP_` wouldn't hurt in case some translator wants to translate this before the release.
45	I think the subject is plural ("new and old"), so "is" should be "are". Though actually, the sentence could be simplified slightly, since the comparison to the old behavior is implied: `"In most cases the new behavior is the same for files created in Blender 3.0"`
