and I honestly cannot remember why.

That's why it's better to always document your configs. I now try doing that (didn't document anything in the past), and it will probably save me the headache of figuring out what does what and why. But I think when using Lua API in Lua, the code is more self-documented than the old Vimscript stuff.

The scripts works well . But a word of caution to folks trying this, Make sure to back Up your original configurations.

@sananand007 doesnt the script already do that 😑

my bad, yes it does @siduck .
I have all my custom plugins settings needed to be re-done after the update, so wanted to put a word of caution.
