I understand the scaling issue.
However, I like to keep related things in one place.
Perhaps we need to move ALL the rc files into a common
directory.
As for the "read-only" argument, I recommend, for those
who wish to separate them, symbolic links from the read
only area to a writable area. When that is not important,
keeping them together can have advantages.

Please understand that I support the general direction
of these changes. However, since it is just about the
same effort to implement any of the proposals and the
"status quo" has a big advantage, I think that it is 
important to discuss the implications of each of the
stratagies before commiting to any of them.

PS: The same applies to DHCP. Since some of the well
respected "names" have also supported ISC-DHCP, I hope
that we can reach a concensus before anyone is allowed
to make their bias the "de-facto" answer.
