In case you missed it, existing configuration (if it was properly marked, many 
of our current init scripts do NOT mark them as %config) will be saved when 
the package drops the %config attribute for the init script.  Yes, future 
configuration should go elsewhere, and that is all in documentation.  In 
order to clean up the distribution and make things more consolidated, some 
historical assumptions have to be broken.
