No. Changing the *.txt files won't have any side effects on any other
files, but see below.

Now that you've changed the url patterns, You're almost there assuming
you have a archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file for each
list (You do unless you changed ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX to -1 or 0). Run

bin/arch --wipe listname

to rebuild the archives for each list. This will rerun the scrubber and
recreate links to attachments using the new patterns. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp>
for some caveats if you've ever edited the listname.mbox files.
