As I understand, the scheme requires the config to be generated in the intermediate
releases.  Once you lose the config and then try to upgrade (and skipping the
intermediate releases), we are back to the original state and problem.

So it is the same issue, that is, upgrading to a new release without going
through the intermediate releases that generate the configs.  The routes
accepted by the old release would be rejected by the new release.
