Comment (by rhaas):

 Personally I would prefer this to be an error, since it was a user input
 that we cannot honor so I would treat it as a parameter file error.

 As for frequency: I don't have hard numbers. I remember that this has
 happened to at least three (incl. myself) of us here at Caltech in the
 last say month (or so), mostly because I remember having suggested/had
 suggested to me to change param.ccl, recompile and rerun. So not very very
 often. It is however fairly common for SN runs to recover from a
 checkpoint with changed options (eg when transitioning from pre-bounce to
 bounce), or to try and change the grid structure, tracking options etc.
 after a checkpoint recovery (if eg something failed).
