I think a seperate, clearly marked 'developer' option would be the
better choice here.  So we can clearly document 'this breaks stuff'.

Yes - I should have just put up a patch months ago.  But even if we keep
it in as a synonym for 'domain', I think that we can create a much
easier user experience by dropping the whole thing...

Why should the user need to know the difference in our technical
implementation?  Instead, the user should be able to describe their
problem - I am running a domain member.

The rest we can auto-detect, based on how and what we joined at worst.
