I can't see the future. 2 years ago would anyone have suggested the
current arrangement?

My understanding is that the conf file locations (and contents) are
synchronized between distros. A side-effect of systemd. Hence I don't
believe Arch is upstream in this case.

I do not know what sort of reason could require an update. I also
would not bet on the files being in the same form and at the same
location forever.
