In my experience, it's pretty safe at least for minor releases. For  
PHP, you're probably pretty safe until PHP6.  Of course, you should  
thoroughly test and watch any system after an upgrade.

Another config/ini file hint: stick them all in subversion (or your  
VCS of choice).  It's nice to be able to look back and see how  
configurations change over time.
