Hmm - that's a matter of taste. Many distributions have it, and it is a
reasonable place, as you can have stuff in /bin,/lib,/etc,... as well as in
/usr/bin/,/usr/lib/,/usr/etc.

The idea to put all in /etc is to have all config in one place. However it
isn't strictly necessary. As soon as /usr is mounted, all is well, so if the
program needing the config is on /usr, there is no technical reason not to
use /usr/etc. Got to check the filesystem hierarchy standard however.

That's bad. The config logic has no macro handling of its own, so it should
have been subbed.
