i don't think so, since it's in the user's homedir...

if it's being overwritten, it'll be overwritten by the akonadi program itself, 
or maybe akonadiconsole or something... but i doubt it, i think it's only 
being made for new users...

but if that's the file that's being used for custom things, then sure, by all 
means.
