This will be the case whether I do it or not. If I uncomment a value and change 
it then you change the value descriptor it doesn't matter whether I've put in 
all my possible values. When we do an upgrade which should only be once a year 
or I'm going to have to read the release no matter what to see if something we 
used has changed.

The only reason an issue would arise is if the release notes were written 
poorly which could be the case but a simple 'diff' command will allow me to see 
any changes to this file.

I don't take new releases lightly, especially to something as widely used as a 
ticketing system.

I also recommend not doing this.  The commented out stock values in your 
siteconfig will get out of sync with RT_Config.pm when we update defaults, add 
new options, or remove old ones.  You're setting yourself up for "stock" values 
which don't match reality, all for the small convenience of not having to look 
at two files.
