Historically, yes. But nowadays, modern applications and services use
/etc only as a directory for user-defined overrides of system
configurations.
You can use the following command to check:
locate *.conf | grep /usr
Most system-wide configs are stored now in /usr/share and /usr/lib.
This dual-configuration system works better than before. If you made a
mistake in a configuration file located in the /etc directory, you can
simply delete it to restore the factory settings.
