The guideline has built in exceptions for init scripts that currently have 
config in them.  Any other init script which currently is marked as %config 
will save any modifications when upgraded to a version of the package that 
doesn't mark it as %config.

While it may or may not be feasible to move the scripts out of /etc/, it IS 
feasible to establish guidelines around how we wish these scripts operate 
within Fedora.
