If you found a config file in /usr it's a bug and FC isn't LSB-compliant 
as I understand it.

If there's a file in /usr that you need to diddle with and it's not a 
config file, it sounds like it ought to be.

I suggest that someone who's affected write up a bug report describing 
the original problem, the workaround and these opinions.

destroying computer equipment is a fairly serious matter, but so is 
standards-compliance.
