(Do I need to keep saying I am writing as an individual contributor? Better safe than sorry I suppose.)

Nah. Generate it in the new releases if you see a config that came from an older version. (You can tell this, among other ways, by noticing that the required new line of configuration is not present).

There is no intermediate version.

Of course, endless variant schemes are possible. This is merely a thought experiment to prove the problem is neither intractable, nor even particularly difficult.
