: I must say, if this is going to live in src/, it belongs in src/, not
: hidden in src/etc/.

The reason that I put it in src/etc/defaults was two fold.  First, so
people could have a global one, and second they could have a tree one
that overrode that.  Having it be in bare src/ opens it up for false
positives too easily, imho.  The etc/default acts as a key to help
reduce false positives.
