I applaud that decision and would even consider suggesting you use 
local.cf for new setups and do away with spam.assassin.prefs.conf 
altogether & write your defaults into local.cf (its designed for stuff 
like this)
If you need to add a paramter to local.cf, its easyly appendable, 
commented out and add a comment in changelog so ppl are not surprised by 
new config options which *could* cause sideeffects and instructing to 
enabled if needed
