no .. it hasnt changed anything in the config array.
the purpose of the alias array is to allow people to use different names 
in their storage layer compared to what LiveUser uses by default. This 
helps in pulling in legacy data and it also helps to maintain a 
consistent naming convention inside your storage schema. in some cases 
the storage schema might be controlled by a dba and not by the developer.
