Hmm.  As you may know, there is a way to build an RPM such that certain
config files are marked as "noreplace".  In this case, if such a file is
modified by the user, an upgrade will leave the file as-is and install
the new file as file.name.rpmnew.  I chose not to do this for
convert.conf and types.conf because I didn't think they'd be modified
very often.  I assumed that any user changes would instead be done with
custom-convert.conf and custom-types.conf.  Do your changes just add
entries to convert.conf,  or modify entries?

Of course, the side effect of changing this would mean that any new
entries in the official code would need to be manually merged in from
the .rpmnew file.  For that reason I'd rather leave this as-is. 
Comments?
