Here is dilemma. To help people you have to convey the information. In
*either* case, right? But which words to choose? Ones telling how to

version-specifc config they might have to adjust anyway?
At any occasion I also want to point out/remind that contributes configs
are meant to go separate files in Configurations catalog.
