If we assume that the only reason to use --new is because the old filer
has stopped responding, that might not be very useful ;-)

It might be more useful for developers, of course...

No, I don't think so. We have to handle this case anyway (as the filer
might have crashed), so there's no point making it any more complicated.
This way, the crash-handling logic gets tested in the normal case too...
