What if i made custom changes to the CSS file or some output like removing lines from the user profile form? How can i make sure tese changes will not be touched when I upgrade?

CSS changes are easy to maintain… you just need to keep a copy of the old CSS file before upgrading.

Any PHP changes falls under custom user modification and it’s a support nightmare from my side so I am not in favor of this one. You are free to do whatever customization you want but I can’t support it (troubleshoot coding bugs introduced by the tweak).
