Sounds like you’re on the right track here. > Can these conf changes be safely ignored? In general, I would say no, just to lean on the side of caution. However I suppose it depends on what has been changed. If you’re curious, you could look up the config option that was changed / added / removed, see what it does (in the docs) and perhaps why it was changed (changelog, bugzilla or svn). That could give you enough context to make your own decision about it.
