For one, I think we should not upgrade the configuration without their knowledge
-- at least unless we are able to downgrade the configuration back automatically
as well.

On the other hand, I think leaving it completely on them doesn't sound right
either, because:
• They should never be asked to edit the JSON file directly.
• Even with some offline-configuration, if there are few hundred zones,
  modifying an option at all of them is tedious.

So, I would be inclined to some kind of script that can upgrade the
configuration, possibly with asking some questions (something like make
oldconfig on linux kernel, maybe less verbose).

With regards
