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.
