Many servers don't just run one service (e.g. shared web hosting servers
will run HTTP, SMTP, DNS, etc.), so the config should be protected.

Anything else might as well be world-readable though (and this is really
true for any non-config/non-log file in any RPM), since they can easily
be downloaded through "teh intertubes".
