This really ought to be a Fedora guideline.  It is a recommendation in
Debian, and has been since as long as I can remember, and results in
Debian being much more consistent about where config files can be
found.

'Course we could go further and rename /etc/httpd -> /etc/apache (and
rename the package, both matching Debian), which should have been done
a long time ago.
