# Surely not config files? They are usually host-specific, and should go
# in etc (/usr/pkg/etc).
I suppose that would be where configs go.. (sigh) ;)
# BTW, hier(7) does not document the convention that the whole of /usr
# (except for /usr/{local,pkg}/etc) should be shareable across multiple
# machines of the same architecture via read-only mounts, and that
# /usr{/local,/pkg,}/share should be shareable across multiple machines of
# different architectures via read-only mounts.
Making it read-only is definately going to break games that want to write to
thier high score files.
