and modifying a config file thats part of the base RPM can easily cause 
issues downstream.   if nothing else, an httpd update will leave a 
.rpmnew file there for you to puzzle over and match against your 
changes.     by putting all your site specific configurations in various 
.conf files in the conf.d directory, your stuff is portable, and can be 
rpm deployed on any el system without complications.

but AlwaysTalking seems to know better.
