I agree, but this has been discussed on this list some years ago and
most people wanted the behaviour as it is now.
Now I have a texmf-local and a texmf-cnf directory outside texmf and
they are searched for before texmf. Thus I have no problems when
upgrading teTeX even if I rename texmf to texmf-<version> before
installing a new release.
Other people probably install a new version over an old one and all
configuration files are overwritten. At least texmf.cnf has an
interesting feature:
% original texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea.
% (If you change or delete `original' on the previous line, the
% distribution won't install its version over yours.)
Couldn't the other config files be handled in a similar way?
texconfig should then remove the "original" automatically if
s.o. changes the file.

Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
