Yes, /etc/* might contain user-supplied stale values after an upgrade. But that's fine. /etc/* should be considered _user data_.

OK.
With /usr/etc providing a pristine reference point, it should always be easy for users to evaluate their custom configurations for things that can be removed or optimised.
So what about YaST? Where would YaST bootloader module write its configuration?
To /usr/etc/default/grub? No, that's package's domain to /etc/default/grub? No, that's my (user's) domain to /var/adm/default/grub?
I'd say /etc/default/grub : YaST is working on behalf on the user. It is "just" a nicer UI to /etc/default/grub than vi/emacs ;) -- Frederic Crozat Release Manager SUSE Linux Enterprise SUSE
