Well, /etc/profile, hosts, passwd, group and other core config files are
owned by the 'setup' package in Red Hat Linux.  Then there's the
initscripts package for the rc.d directory.  And most of the other files
are owned by individual packages, like bash owns /etc/bashrc.

My point is, RHL doesn't set any particular standard.  If anything, I'd
give /etc/bash_completions to bash -- it's only useful when you install
bash, and you have to upgrade bash to 2.05 or higher to use the
completions.
