Well, Cherokee itself does note that while the configuration can still be edited by hand, it is suggested to use the web interface. Just like Samba has SWAT, although its configuration can still be edited by hand. I think it's still fair to put the Cherokee configuration in / etc, especially considering many applications that use binary/human- unreadable configuration files put their configuration here anyway, although Cherokee's is easily edited by someone who understands the configuration layout well enough.
