docs(files): Investigate recommendation of placing files to /etc/ instead of /usr/etc/ in build-time

[fiftydinar]

This all happens in build-time, run-time won't be affected by any of this.

According to Colin Walters, the desired behavior is that files should be placed in /etc/ instead of /usr/etc/, as rpm-ostree will automatically merge /etc/ to /usr/etc/ afterwards.

When files are directly placed to /usr/etc/ like we recommend right now, those files are undefined to rpm-ostree.

Bazzite already moved to /etc/, Bluefin & Aurora will do this too:

Maybe remove the docs first, then edit the template and do a small-time announcement, and then ctrl-f /usr/etc/ in the repos and replace the occurrences?

Which part of the docs? Only those which mention copying to /usr/etc/ or something else too?

then edit the template and do a small-time announcement

Alright

and then ctrl-f /usr/etc/ in the repos and replace the occurrences?

Yeah.
