The `ls` color alias comes from /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh; which is
marked as a config(noreplace) file in the rpm spec:
$ rpm -qc coreutils
/etc/DIR_COLORS
/etc/DIR_COLORS.256color
/etc/DIR_COLORS.lightbgcolor
/etc/profile.d/colorls.csh
/etc/profile.d/colorls.sh

which means that if you edit /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh your changes
will be preserved even after updating the coreutils package (the
/etc/profile.d/colorls.sh file from the new package will be installed
with an .rpmnew extension).

The same goes for grep.
