Sounds like an acceptable change.  Are you going to retain the old long 
options for compatibility implying a default value of 1, or just drop 
them entirely? (ie, --exit-on-error  is an alias for --max-read-errors=1)

Was very glad to see the --exit-on-slow feature in -pre5, happy to 
report the recovery succeeded overnight, rather than the "projected" 200 
days at 64KB/sec.  Having the USB controlled relay switch is definitely 
something that works well as a companion with ddrescue.

Regards,
Paul.
