Hi, is the table linked below describing config file handling still valid for
current versions of RPM? Is this documented somewhere else?

Looks about right based on a quick glance. Current rpm has some extra
rules on top of that to avoid unnecessary .rpmsave/.rpmnew pollution
especially on multilib systems:
- if a config file in a package hasn't changed between old and new
version, don't create .rpmnew even if the config file on disk has been
edited
- don't create .rpmnew/.rpmsave files if config files only differ by
timestamp
