> [0]https://0pointer.net/blog/projects/stateless.html I don't see "/usr/etc" in [0]. What I see is /usr/share/etc, i.e., $(datarootdir)/etc. It's not clear why the latter name doesn't suffice for this need, as files in $(datarootdir) are also supplied by the distro and are read-only. Or even sysconfdir ("read-only single-machine data") (where it is set to /usr/share/etc or some other such thing). This also seems very much specific to systemd based GNU/Linux systems ( https://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.en.html ).
