I have thought about this before and yes I would do it, as long as the .info is and will be the main domain for the foreseeable future. We should consider adding a detection mechanism that checks if the new settings exist and, if not, imports the old settings. Perhaps this can be a dialog which pops up asking if the import is desired? In any case, a transition should be well-communicated so no one is surprised, ie. I have some scripts to swap out configurations which expect a certain path, etc.
