+But here you are only talking about system-wide configuration files, which
+are known of rpm as they are part of the package and marked as config files.
+But what about user specific configuration files?
+For the easy kind, where a program will have a single configuration file (or
+dedicated directory), a pre-inst script could find it in the home of each
+users and backup them. But you have cases of programs which have
+configuration scattered in multiple shared directories (like KDE), or even
+non-deterministic configuration files and it can become very tricky to find
+all the files to backup.
+And you have the really hard kind, where the same configuration file may be
+shared by different packages. For example, plasma applet configurations are
+stored in a few ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma* files.
