I would agree, if your going to use it then you should at least know how
to troubleshoot it if a new version breaks.

I think the new preprocessor should be disabled by default otherwise
if
you use a snort.conf 2.3.3 with a snort < 2.3.3 your snort won't start
(it can be tricky...).
If it fails to start, you know about it immediately, which is better
than not providing default alerting on a fairly serious threat.
cheers,
