yes, some developer devised a rather involved scheme of shell scripts that attempted to migrate config files on rpm install. Ultimately a difficult system to maintain. Going forward, If you (the admin) make edits to config files outside the UI, you are responsible for them (obviously) but backup and restore will take of everything else. If ever there is a migration of anything else (rare, but I'm sure exists. Symlink to language prompts comes to mind) system will detect and gracefully convert whenever system starts up. Cfengine can aptly handle that.
I can't guarantee every setting will migrate perfectly from all versions, or that there won't be bugs in the process, but it should be reasonable processes for sure.
