probably I miss here something about the functionality of
texconfig-sys and friends.
I don't think you're missing anything. I just don't think it would be
wise to assume by default that configuration files written in year X can
be used in years X+1, X+2, ..., indefinitely. If you want to try it,
set TEXMFSYSCONFIG to the texmf-local directory, or wherever you want.
It's just the default ...
Personally, I install the full distribution from scratch each year. It
takes about five minutes to run the installer and configuration scripts,
and 20 minutes to copy the files. Not a big deal ...
Cheers,
Karl
