Same here. In the overwhelming majority of cases this is safe, historically there were only a few TL/MLs that had problems.
I remember 5.3 ML8 (or ML9? not sure) having a problem if updating from ML3 - one had to update to ML7 first and then to do a second update to ML8. Similar from 4.1.1 to 4.1.4 IIRC. All other combinations i had to work with were without problems.
I hope this helps.

gv-update-userconfig
GV(1) User Commands GV(1)
NAME
gv-update-userconfig - update ~/.gv config file
SYNOPSIS
gv-update-userconfig [filename]
DESCRIPTION
gv-update-userconfig is a simple script to update an .gv config file to the current version of gv(1).
You can specify a file which is used instead of .gv by using the optional filename argument. This is useful if the environment variable
XUSERSEARCHPATH is used.
This is done by removing all entries known to cause problems with the current version of GNU gv (i.e. the one the version of this program
belongs to) and updating the version information in that file. This resets all problematic items back to the default values.
-h, --help, --usage
displays a short help message
-r removes all resources from ~/.gv that equal the default resources being shipped with GNU gv (ignoring whitespaces).
-n switches to alternative navigation by adding resp. updating navigation resources to ~/.gv, i. e. after each page switch (except if
selected by the page number) the page is scrolled to top (if switching forward) resp. to the bottom (if switching backward).
-N switches to standard navigation by adding resp. updating navigation resources to ~/.gv.
-s removes navigation resources from ~/.gv and therefore enables standard navigation.
-i updates translation file. Using the optional filename parameter is strongly recommended for using this option. This option cannot be
used together with any of the other options.
BACKGROUND
The $(HOME)/.gv file is written by GNU gv when activating the Save button in one of the configuration dialogs.
The values in there are used, if there is no display-specific resource value (loaded from $(HOME)/.Xresources at login time or manually
xrdb(1)).
Sometimes older values miss things needed by the new GNU gv to work properly. This GNU gv will notice old (or missing) version information
in this file and refuse to start until fixed.
SEE ALSO
gv(1), xrdb(1).
