The place for system configuration is /etc. I have yet to see a really
convincing example why /etc/sysconfig/ or /etc/default would win us
anything. I am pretty sure that the vast majority of files in there are
pretty much unnecessary and their configuration could be solved in a
different way much nicer.

So yeah, I'd push for phasing /etc/sysconfig out for most services, not
standardize it.
