Just to say this recovered my settings as expected after the brief thrill of 'Damn, lost my customisations' (Fully expected on a Git Branch so only a little thrill)

Maybe nicely asking one of the ninja Python Coders to knock out a one time only add-on people could run to do the search and replace automatically would smooth the process for the mainstream repo?

EDITED: Just realised this likely isn't relevant as new users won't have the needed settings Ignore me.

no. people who used 2.0 will loose all settings no matter what we do.
and an addon just for the beta/rc users isn´t worth it (especially because beta/rc never appeared on official repo)
