Comment(by Ziusudra):

 The settings are stored in /boot/home/config/settings. While the installer
 does not overwrite any '''folder''' other than system, if the install
 image contains any other files that already exists installer will
 overwrite them. Zipping up the settings folder before installing a nightly
 and extracting it back after will maintain your settings.

 The nightlies are intended to be minimal stand alone images. Any future
 upgrade system would just not include files that have not changed.
