I see the reasoning on /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/fs/config.
Everything else, while being a "system wide default configuration
file", is most likely to never be changed, or there is an alternative
for a per user customization file.
Maybe xorg.conf will still be used when we upgrade to X Server 1.5,
but a signficant portion of it will be handled by dbus/hal, and
xfs is obsolete.
