One of the important bits for me is to not add an option knowing
we're going to rename it later.

We've just branched 7.10 and I'm guessing all of this will be
present for 7.11.

So I'd be ok with just adding a simple note somewhere saying
the option only applies to solibs at the moment and will
eventually also apply to exes.
