I understand the scaling issue. However, I like to keep related things in one place. Perhaps we need to move ALL the rc files into a common directory. As for the "read-only" argument, I recommend, for those who wish to separate them, symbolic links from the read only area to a writable area. When that is not important, keeping them together can have advantages.
Please understand that I support the general direction of these changes. However, since it is just about the same effort to implement any of the proposals and the "status quo" has a big advantage, I think that it is important to discuss the implications of each of the stratagies before commiting to any of them. PS: The same applies to DHCP. Since some of the well respected "names" have also supported ISC-DHCP, I hope that we can reach a concensus before anyone is allowed to make their bias the "de-facto" answer.
