I don't know that anyone checks this, so perhaps it's something you
can get away with, but I don't think I'd personally make such a change
_knowingly_.

But if your argument is that upgrade is so slow that nobody's going to
notice, that's probably true.

The only point where it'd get bad is if incremental package adds that
use i.services got very slow.  I'm assuming that doesn't happen,
because there's only one package with the full set of IANA services.

That'd be interesting, as /etc is private to the zone and should
always be writable.
