When running upgrade-config.pl on a conf file that's already 2.6
(but e.g. not 2.6d), any existing " age = " lines (in the Purge
section) are removed:

Even the commented out lines are deleted.
As this goes totally unnoticed (no messages about this whatsoever)
people may end up losing significant amounts of their cache...
