You should add a warning, that i.e. keeping /etc/sysconfig/config will 
screw other things up.

It would also be good to keep a file /etc/sysconfig/config.new

You should do it, before you add it to 1.0

There are some settings which should be upgraded.
I.e. timezone, hostname, keyboard...

Can you "update" those?

I'll do better, I'll "update" every value that changed!  :-)

I also keep copies of the old & default config files, PLUS
I keep a log of everything changed at:  /etc/sysconfig/upgrade.log

Changes committed (in 1.1).

Would it be better to unconditionally omit copying /etc/sysconfig/config
and display a message to "run setup" to rebuild it?

I can do it either way.
