Please avoid having projects unconditionally read `/usr/etc` because on ostree based systems `/usr/etc/services` will always exist; we use it for our 3-way merge of /etc. (It's actually also really nice to have the defaults always visible, that's how `ostree admin config-diff` works) It will start to conflict if other projects put things there. Now our technical direction may go in a place where we move away from `/usr/etc` and do things differently (and this is a whole *other* big thing to align in api probably). Please use a project-specific namespace as you suggested below. > Same for /usr/etc/protocols, /usr/etc/rpc > and so on. It's already used on openSUSE, apparently. Hmmm.
