When running rm -rf ~/.config/ipython and doing
%install_default_config, this results in a crash:

Also see this bug report for that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751146

All I could find in the github issues is this:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/467
but that was with the old config system...
