Joe,

in this case freedom has little to do with fact that some postinstall script
can't change your configuration file automatically as it is not designed to
cover all possible variations, and it is missing interactive part that will
ask you what to do. It is just a way to skip creation of bloated postinstall
scripts, or change your working configuration with some default settings,
forcing you to go trough configuration again. The former can really make you
angry, if last configuration was result of a lot of manual tweaking and you
don't have backup.

YaST has interactive configurations, so after asking you questions it will
create new config file and you will see your old file as
foo.config.YaST2save.

The foo.config.rpmnew and foo.config.rpmsave exist for some packages and in
some situations.
