I wonder about /etc, because that's where so much conf is kept.
But it is small enough to simply back it up to an external partition.
The pain is in remembering all the apps for which conf files were
modified. To address that, inserting a comment like
# this is a modified conf file
into the conf file helps one to search for all conf files that were
customized, and bring them back.
Problem arises when new config vars are introduced in the newer
release of the app, in which case one must integrate those as well.
It just seems there is no automagical way to do upgrades :)
