There will be many redundant settings in the table if you don't start with a 
new database each time you upgrade. They aren't created for new users though 
and don't consume any significant space so there is no point in removing 
them.

Not worth doing. There is little purpose served in bumping the db schema to 
remove some redundant and harmless settings. If they bother you, remove them 
manually or start with a clean settings table.
