the difference between config and code is largely illusionary, so PHB is right: both can break things and need to be tested.

I would argue that in this case where it was designed like that from the beginning IE detailed as how the system works then there should be no issues.

I did forget to mention it did go though a round of testing, which took less then 5 minutes to be verified as correct. It literally was 6 days of process wrapped around 10 minutes work.
