Perhaps it is the systemd mechanism by which services in /usrsomething can be superseded by placing the same service file under /etcsomething. Erasing those files on /etc would revert to factory settings, no?
And it also allows the admin to replicate the changes easily on another machine, and to do updates without local modifications being erased.
That also means updates without service updates being applied.
Because you copy the *WHOLE* service, make changes, and any updates to the service are lost on update.
Well, you can instead edit the original service file, and perhaps when the rpm is updated you get rpmorig files.
Sane services are configurable so you put a file in /etc/ that configures the service and do not change the service itself unless you need to fix some error in the service definition.
Well, initd services were not configurable that way either (except that configuration that a particular service would design). We had to edit the service script, and watch out on updates for replacements (rpmorig etc). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
