This is the case. We say not to change things directly in OpenSimDefaults.ini because that can change between releases,
sometimes changing parameters to make OpenSimulator work better or resolve other issues. Hence, it's safer to override
things in OpenSim.ini. There are a few more details about this at [1].

Isn't this dependent on your specific distribution of opensim?
My understanding is that opensim first loads opensimdefault.ini, then loads
opensim.ini, then loads grid.ini, and then
loads gridcommon.ini
There is nothing wrong with the same parameter being defined in every one of
those files, and each can have a different
setting. The one that will be in effect is the last one loaded.
So, lets say there is a parameter of:
"PARM1 = never" in opensimdefault.ini
"PARM1 = occasionally" in opensim.ini
"PARM1 = somtimes" in grid.ini
"PARM1 = always" in gridcommon.ini
The final setting of PARM1 will be "always" since that is the last value it was
set to.
It makes sense to put your modifications into the last file loaded to make sure
some other file does not change it on you.
You could add an include of your special modification to gridcommon.ini and
call it mychanges.ini and put that file in
some directory totally safe from updates.
Just remember the includes position in the file is where you statements will
reside. In the setting a values make sure
the same parameter is not set after your include.
For me I put all my modifications at the end of gridcommon.ini
I could be all wet, but this has worked for me ever since I started doing
programming. I doubt opensim uses any values
until after it finishes loading them .

Why ? because opensimdefault.ini can be changed. and opensim.ini is not
getting overwritten default by other.
Depends maby on the packadge you use.
