Poll: Which option would you prefer?

Hey again, everyone.
In testing the coming update we ran into a bit of an issue. The old collada importer would not take the up_axis set in a model into consideration, something the AMFP's importer does.
This means few TDD models that had a custom up_axis set (even though it had no effect) are now rotated incorrectly in the game, something that completely breaks the main campaign and probably some custom stories as well. This is of course not acceptable.

We have two possible solutions to the issue, but since they will affect the modding community it seems like a good idea to ask for input here first.

1) Patch the old TDD models to have the correct up_axis
New models will work correctly out-of-the-box. However, this will potentially break any mods using custom models with the wrong up_axis set! Should not affect that many mods, and it would be easy for the modder to patch.

2) Keep the handling of up_axis the same way it was in TDD
New models with a custom up_axis will need to be rotated manually by the modders, which might get annoying. This means all old mods will keep working just like they did before.

Which solution would you prefer, and why?
