Yup, agreed.

It will when necessary; for the inn.conf changes, it's not necessary,
since innupgrade can figure it out.  (Well, if someone put double quotes
around a parameter in the old inn.conf and meant for them to be included
in the parameter value, it will get that wrong, but I think that's a
sufficient edge case given that the only parameter that would make any
sense there is organization that I'm not inclined to worry about it.)
