I agree completely. When we do the next release, we strongly urge people to make back-up copies of all their current Sigil related ini files just in case they want or need to revert back. Perhaps we even include a bash script that does that for Linux and Mac Users and a simple bat script for Windows users or maybe a little python script that runs on all platforms.
That way people can revert if they need to but the bulk of the people should be just fine.

It could also affect anyone who might need to roll back to a previous version of Sigil for whatever reason. There'll need to be a warning on the release that preferences files are going to updated and may be incompatible with older versions of Sigil from that point on. Prefs should be backed up before updating to be safe.
