I wish we *could* rename /etc to /cfg or /config now... It's much more

Do you seriously wish to break unknown number or custom and third party
scripts and applications with hardcoded /etc/* paths (in addition to
lots of work on software which is part of the distribution - and be sure
that lot of that would end up being permanent openSUSE specific patches)
just for... what gain exactly?
Sure, some design decisions taken 20+ (in this case, rather 40+) years
ago may seem strange (or even "WtF were they thinking?!") today but I'm
pretty sure many of the design decisions which seem to make perfect
sense now will provoke exactly the same reaction in 20 years...
