I'd prefer /usr/config or /usr/cfg over /usr/etc. Aside from the
collision in usage, "etc" is a terrible name for the configuration
directory ("etc" was a catch-all directory originally, which is why so
many executable shell scripts were in there...), and we can do better
than that in 2019.

The discussions on the FHS mailing list were
mixed, but in the
end: FHS will not specify anything, we should just do it. The
most promising suggestions were:
- /usr/sysconfig
- /usr/config
- /usr/etc
Since the feedback clearly shows, that nearly everybody preferes
/usr/etc, we re-evaluated this and thinks we can take the risks,
choosing something nearly everybody preferes is also important.
Additional, as every important directory should only have three
letters, /usr/cfg was thrown in the discussion.
/usr/sysconfig is clearly out, looks like nearly nobody likes that.
So we currently have:
/usr/etc
/usr/cfg
/usr/config
