I would prefer to have that mechanism under /usr/share, owned by RPM and untouched by admins, and then a single /etc/somefile.conf, empty by default (or with only comments) where admins can override the parameters they need to, and only those. Then the admin's overrides would remain effective when the link is changed. But then the program that is to read the configuration file must be able to handle such a setup.
