So, hypothetically, next week when the update removes this change, should we
update the documentation again to remove the now inaccurate "an update has
changed the default"?
How about if SARE, or any other channel publisher puts in config line to
change the setting?
If you word the note appropriately there would be no need to change it
again. Something along the lines of "Also note that, like all such
settings, the default values can be overridden by configuration files
including those downloaded using sa-update. For example, the official
sa-update channel for SpamAssassin 3.2.0 included a nonspam threshold
setting of 1.0 on <insert date here>; this setting could of course be
changed again with a subsequent update."
