I know of one commercial linux provider who has his entire /etc

Not a bad idea. I tend to use CDR myself but I don't update anything
in /etc very often.
On the day I accidentally typed:
rm -rf /etc/*
when I meant:
rm -rf /mnt/etc/*
I was saved by two factors:
1) my server was short of memory which made it quite slow, so it'd
only removed a handful of files by the time I hit ^C,
2) I had another Linux machine handy that I could use to compare
directories and copy files from.
For my real work I'm using Subversion. Compared to my old revision
control system, which consisted of numbered .zip files and a
changelog, it's absolute bliss.
