Comment (by eschnett):
I disagree with a separate option for checkpoint files. If the index files are really fast and cheap, this option should not be necessary. And after all, checkpoint files are also read, either by visualisation tools (e.g. for NaN debugging), or when restarting; in both cases, index files could be useful (depending on the reader).
The change in default value can obviously not be back-ported. The new parameter should also not be backported. Deleting checkpoints' index files should be backported as bug fix.
