Of course, that's what I meant:  This time we suggest 3775 also if we
find 1777 or 2777; but upon upgrade, at any time later, we only suggest
it if we actuall find it.

But that has the effect that if the local admin sets it to 1777 after
the next tex-common version asked him, and he runs it noninteractively,
it will destroy his local configuration.

That would always be the target *if* the answer is "true".
