R. David Murray added the comment:
I *want* it to be the default, since I think that is the typical use case, but the existing default behavior means that such a backward incompatible change would not be acceptable for exactly the reason you state. So yes, I want it as a new flag. ("exist_really_ok", he says with tongue in cheek.) I haven't given much thought to the API, but perhaps there could be a value for the umask that means "don't care"?
