Well, I'm not sure that's what I meant. As the sysadmin, you can change anything you want, whether it goes along with upstream's wishes or not. But as a distro (for lack of a better term; I know LFS isn't technically a distro, but whatever), the book should not use a directory for changeable data when upstream would rather change the source instead of the magic file. The fact that you changed it on your system is not a reason to put the file in /etc, just as the fact that I've never changed it is not a reason to put it in /usr/share/file. What matters are the wishes of the upstream developers, when they're available. In this case, they are.
