On the contrary; it is quite NECCESSARY.

As our filesystem layout guide already mentions!

Sometimes, you WANT global, shared, identical preferences for an application.
Sometimes you DONT.

For things that almost never change, or get site-modified once and
then mostly left alone for eternity, it is best to have them in
/opt/csw/etc, for cases where /opt/csw is NFS shared, or shared across
multiple zones. It makes life much simpler for the sysadmin.
