mpv maintainer notes seem misleading

Description

After installing mpv, the following notes are displayed:

  mpv has the following notes:
    The maintainer ships his personal config file in
    * /opt/local/share/doc/mpv/examples/config-maintainer.
    
    You are strongly encouraged to copy this file to either
    * /opt/local/etc/mpv/mpv.conf (globally for all users of the system) or
    * ~/.mpv/config (only for your current user)
    and adjust it to your needs.
    This config file already defines the necessary video output settings to make
    use of the hardware acceleration features provided by your operating system.

Using the suggested configuration is important because hardware acceleration seems to make a big difference for CPU usage (and battery).

Questions:

Shouldn't the personal config file be ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf instead?

The suggested global config location of /opt/local/etc/mpv/mpv.conf gets overwritten with every mpv upgrade. Thus editing this file is of no use.
