General Assets URL

[Agaton]

In the media settings area there's a field called 'general assets url', currently this points to the assets folder (components/com_virtuemart/assets/).

Assets folder is where many of the css, js and other nice stuff live to make VM look good.

My question is, was this intended to allow a change of the path to say components/com_virtuemart/assets-style1/ so a custom design/layout can be implemented without the worry of core files being overwritten on upgrade.

If the answer is Yes then it doesn't work or there's another setting I need to alter, if No then what is it's purpose?

I have already asked this question in admin/configuration however I was advised to ask in templates....
