 So, for me to understand: the version in the config file only specifies

like the version number in the skins, the version number in the config 
indicates when that config was installed or upgraded.  even then, it is 
only a hint, since it is quite possible that you might have made changes 
since the install/upgrade.

in the past 10 years of weewx, i think there have been only one or two 
times where we made changes to weewx that broke an existing configuration 
file, thus *requiring* a config change.  there have been many additional 
features, but those have sane defaults.

similarly, there have been only one or two cases where a change in weewx 
broken existing skins, and those were non-fatal breaks.

we try *really* hard to maintain backward compatibility!
