AFAIK, yes. I use it to allow different modules to have their own
preferences.

it is used to allow a new version of the application to access preferences
that are incompatible with the previous version.

nothing. that is the whole idea. suppose you upgrade an application from
version, with different preferences. the first time the new version is run,
it tries to retrieve the new version of the preferences. when this fails, it
can assume that it is running for the first time.
