Thanks Ben. Both patches look good to me. Thanks for working on this.

Just a couple small comments inline.

Do we actually use this file in production? It looks like the main
difference is TYPE="experimental" vs TYPE="auto" and I don't see TYPE
used anywhere. Can we just remove this file?

Stray newline, but I see that this is to reduce the differences
between the experimental and non-experimental versions of the file. I
might remove the newline from the other instead, but I don't feel
strongly.

This would be a good opportunity to create and use an upload()
function like the other conf files have.
