You didn't think/read. This doesn't address the issue at hand.

shoot...NO daemon should have write access to config files (any configs that
the daemon can change should be in another file.)

Hello
I'm sympathetic, being a noob here myself. I just discovered this a day or
two ago;
srcds_run -help
srcds_run is actually just a bash script wrapper/launcher for srcds_linux.
Reading it can be very informative (less srcds_run). Numerous comments
explain some features of the script that are not documented anywhere else.
In regards to the update script overwriting user-modified files, the Valve
devs would be wise to look at how APT/RPM package management systems handles
user-modified files.
Any further info on this subject would be welcome. Otherwise, I'm going to
have to keep backups of my entire install directory before updates, then get
more specific with my backup list over time as I understand what files I
need to modify and are likely to be overridden during an update.
If anyone has reading recommendations on updating and updating for multiple
installations, and management of multiple game server installations in
general, that would be appreciated. I need to do some reading here on the
subject soon.

couldn't find those commands anywhere. What other commands are we missing
out on?

And it won't overwrite anything.

Would it be possible to add a command line option to not download maps?
That
would save some hardrive space and reduce update times/install times
expecially on servers that don't use the default maps. I don't see a
reason
for keeping all the maps if they will never be used. If you delete them
then
on the next update it will just redownload them.. just an idea. It also
gets
annoying to have to rewrite overwritten maplists etc.
