I get that, but why is a conf file not the right answer? We could even
put the conf file in /etc if we decide that this is a feature that
should be in the base. Having 2 symlinks just seems like overkill.

I don't understand this bit, sorry. Aren't we talking about symlinks
in / and /usr pointing to alternate versions in either /, /usr, or
/usr/local? I don't see how anything would need to be written in
/usr/local with either 1 symlink or 2.
