Users do not automatically get new or changed config values upon upgrade
Because zowe's server config is based upon starting with an example config file, and editing it, it is likely that users will create a working config file, and then not update it with every upgrade, even though they should because new zowe versions can come with new features and changes in desired defaults.
I say "desired defaults" because, since there isnt a default file, just an example file, there really isn't a default config.
We should move from an example-based config to a default-based config, using the multi-yaml feature here https://docs.zowe.org/stable/user-guide/configmgr-using/ such that the first file in the list can be zowe's default file, so that users will pick up new values & changes in defaults over time.
for the idea of a defaults-based yaml, i started some work here https://github.com/zowe/zowe-install-packaging/pull/3356 but would be happy if others picked it up or gave feedback, because it's something i was only working on with spare time at the moment.
