From what you say below, it is a case of standardization indeed,
as Linux policy is to _have_ all conf files into /etc/.

OMFG, what a PITA to do a: mv /opt/whatever /etc/freeswitch, indeed².

I guess your typing has been done under hot conditions - and this
can happen to anybody one day or another.

However, consider all the devs people work, what they're doing for
YOU (the user, that just have to modify a bit a complete native
conf to get a fully operative switch), the sweat they put in fixing
some quirks sometimes in minutes and you'll begin to see how
offensive your words are: "somebody" reversed the order of your 
FREE lunch, fork, knive & spoon and you're going off the deep end
for THAT?
In france, we have a swell stock phrase for that: 
"faire un caca nerveux" (literally: to make a nervous caca-poo).

So, please tell them it just a hot and epidermic reaction, no?
