As always, it depends. There are some programs out there, providing configuration examples which don't really make any sense as default config. In that case, I would advise the user to configure their software manually. Other programs provide usable defaults in their config files, making it sensible to install them to SYSCONFIDR by default. But that's just my opinion... Nikolay
