Files marked as config are usually intended to be edited by the user to
customize the application. In that case, you mark them as %config, so rpm does
not nuke them during an update, but copies them to a %filename.rpmsave backup
file before creating the new file.

The %config(noreplace) variant tells rpm to give priority to the user modified
config file so it's the new updated config file which is created as %filename.rpmnew
