I don't like this idea as it adds a whole new class of potential 
configuration bugs like the fact that your logic only deals with forward 
moves and not backward moves. It is fairly easy to make settings keys 
both forward and backwards compatible and in this case before any 
release I would change the key name which is better than any type of 
schema number.

I think it is quite reasonable for developers and self building testers 
to have to make so internal adjustments while development code settles down.

If you are really keen to not have to reset the frequency list at all I 
can change the key name every time the format or default content changes 
but to me it seems wasted effort that just clutters up all the 
developers settings files.
