If you leave a save file there, just remember to have a version number that you check, and if possible even have a conversion routine that runs the first time in subsequent versions (or just write out a new file at worst).
I've seen games that change their save file format in newer versions but don't do any checking, they just happily load an older file, try to parse it, and cause all sorts of mayhem.
...and so I said to Mr. Gates: "$640 billion should be enough for anyone!"
