It needs to be noted this only applies on Windows. The Debian package has an in-place upgrade feature so the vm.args is not removed and it interrogates it for its current value (whether the file was modified since install or not). Not as sure about the rpm.

Added sub-heading to clarify Windows-only applicability.
