I prefer https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/configuration_files_specification/ https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/configuration_fi... Defaults should go in /usr/. It is package developer / maintainer territory. System-wide overrides should go in /etc/. It is the purview of the system administrator.
