Yes, unfortunately some apps have a to read those files, though it is an awful ugly idea that hopefully go away someday.
Having config files is ugly. What a profound statement to make on a highly configurable OS.
+1 They will 'go away' when - and only when - you have an acceptable substitute. Right now they meet a few useful criteria a) they are under /etc b) they are in a directory called "config' c) they are in files that correspond to the name of facility I recall when the PAM files were not in /etc/pam.d/ and were not in files that met (c). Much nicer now. If you have an alternative for this present 'evil' and 'pernicious' and 'ugly' and 'not nice' present arrangement, I'm sure we'd be glad to hear about it.
