This is an A at H issue: The Setup page is provided by AMP (now called 
freePBX, btw), but the Maintenance page is NOT. So, the Asterisk at Home 
system allows you to change configuration files built by AMP, which is 
where the confusion comes in.

If you install Asterisk and AMP/freePBX manually, there is no 
maintenance tab, so there is less opportunity for you to overwrite the 
pre-baked configuration files. :)

The rules are fairly straightforward though: Anything *_additional.conf 
is written by AMP/freePBX and should not be touched. Anything 
*_custom.conf is never touched by AMP and can be manually edited. 
Anything *.conf is only overwritten on upgrades of AMP, so you should 
take care if you edit those files.
