Les,
There are no /home directories on our servers.
Data we create which is NOT essential for the operating system to function is usually not in an operating system directory.
'yum update' still works successfully.

All good that you customize your servers and that shows the beauty of our chosen OS. However, posting non-standard configs on this list shows up in google searches all over the place and has a good potential to confuse those that need some help. That's my point. Obviously your point is you can put them anywhere and your company has decided that is a best practice. I would never argue against your decision to do that.
Meanwhile, the original 'good suggestion' to use the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory for adding the patches has been totally watered down by this blathering (me included) which would best be under a totally different thread about how you can put stuff any where you want. Or, 'the merits of using a data directory'.
You don't teach? If you post, you teach... like it or not.
