I'm always suspicious of interface changes that are "necessitated" by

Hubris is a virtue now? All right! :)
If worse comes to worst, we could always cache two
versions.
I don't think it would be worth caching two versions. The vast majority of
visits are going to be from anons or users who are on the default
preferences, so that's the case to optimize for; the performance hit of
maintaining two sets of caches pages may well be more than the performance
hit of always regenerating pages for the minority option group.
