Thanks, this separation between default and local makes sense.

In case this is still unclear, DefaultSettings.php contains the
original settings distributed with the software (which may change on
upgrade), and LocalSettings.php contains your personalised values
which over-ride these (and won't be touched on upgrade). Basically,
keeping the two sets of settings separate makes keeping track of what
you've changed easier, and ensures that you won't accidentally delete
your settings when updating the defaults.
