Hey.

I strongly disagree that this should be in /usr, as it's configuration.

The fashion of recent years to place configuration in /usr is IMHO
quite questionable:

/usr is generally nothing that people are expected to monitor so if the
distro decides to change a previous (distro-)default it will be
unnoticed by users (in contrast to /etc).

This can have quite bad effects if the users depends on such (previous)
defaults.


I think having defaults stored in /usr is kinda "ok" if these are
upstream defaults (an upstream could also just change defaults in the
sources without the enduser noticing it).. but I think distros
shouldn't do so - especially if the changes don't match the default
upstream behaviour.


Cheers,
Chris.
