Agree.  Copying a large set of default policies into /etc just because
they *can* be overridden is not user friendly.  And it does not make the
defaults any more configuration either. It just hides important local
changes and makes it difficult both for the user and the application
itself to distinguish between defaults and configuration overrides.

A default setting does not count as configuration until it is changed,
IMHO.
