Reduced maximum number of connections

Hello, Regarding the below release note for cPanel 80: Reduced maximum number of connections We changed the default maximum number of connections to a server from 500 to 151. System administrators can update the value for the max_connections key in the /etc/my.cnf file. Can I confirm that "my.cnf" file will not be touched during the upgrade, and that this is only for new installations? Thank you.
