Doesn't matter. If it needed special handling the documentation would have told you so.
Don't overthink these things. If nothing special is mentioned, nothing special is needed.

Nothing changes in the DB until you actually modify an entry that would be affected by the setting. When
the modified entry is written back into the DB it will use whatever setting is currently in effect.

When an entry is read from the DB it is read according to how it was written, regardless of the current setting.
