How hard would it be to enable some sort of semi auto updater to the config files kind of like what Gentoo does. The updater lets you know that there are updates available to the config files and lets you parse though the file and add changes. Maybe even a little more refined/better than the Gentoo one; maybe something that lets you know there is a change, automagically make changes to the specific locations in the file and gets your approval. This way, only NEW additions are added and your settings are left alone. Thoughts???
