This is really just a dev choice. In the newer devstack it can be in a different place (programmer determined). I am making it typically be the following. $ROOTDIR/$COMPONENT/app (for the git checked out code) $ROOTDIR/$COMPONENT/config (for configs - unless overridden by the component class) $ROOTDIR/$COMPONENT/traces (for traces of what happened during install/start/stop...) For "production use" I think u are right, they should be in /etc (or where distros put them). Just don't forget devstack is a " an opinionated openstack developer installation." Although as more people use it we should try to adopt standard policies. Hopefully this newer one we are making can help that be possible.

In my understanding, the "Editable Text Configuration" files should be located in an "etc/" directory.
