I think /etc/security might be a Fedora-ism. Generally I'm a fan of verbosity (for better or worse) and clearly separating different subsystems - dumping the files all in /etc/security kinda makes you think the files belong together and there's a slight risk of naming conflicts.

I appreciate the reconsideration. No problem.
