Everything is kept there in RCS(good for locking). I check it out in that holding area and make the necessary changes, then use makefiles to test and install the files into /etc or wherever. This is enoumously helpful for catching simple typos in files like sudoers that break easily. So, for example, the sudoers target would copy the new version into a chroot and then sudo -l would be run inside. If this is successful, then it is copied into place and rsynced out. It is amazingly helpful in preventing stupid mistakes that would make users unhappy.
