A lot of packages have been following the systemd module wherein they
check for /etc first and if it's empty they will use the version in
/usr/lib[64]/<default_config_path>, but this is being done on an
app-by-app basis. I think the OSTree solution is actually quite
elegant, since it doesn't require every application to change its
config file handling.
