when in doubt, discuss it on the maintainers list.

they should be treated pretty much in the same way as if /opt was NFS-shared
between separate hosts.

Sometimes, it is DESIRABLE to have the configs globally in /opt/csw/etc.

Ideally, a program could be configured to first chec /opt/csw/etc, and then
override with any local configs in /etc/opt/csw

But if not, then it's up to the maintainer to decide.
