Yes, it's about dist.conf that are unique solution to provide distro
specific default values.
I'm not sure how are other distros solving this if at all, they
probably either rely on upstream defaults or their configuration
management tools?
Thing is that upstream defaults cannot fit all distributions, so I
would expect all distros to pick up our dist.conf solution but we
probably have not been exaplaning and advertising it enough hence
confusion in the upstream docs.
I suspect other distros may just modify /etc/neutron/neutron.conf as they fit. It’s
obviously not the cleanest solution.
I believe enforcing a specific way to configure services upon distributions is not the job
of upstream, as long as default upstream way (modifying upstream configuration files
located in /etc/<service-name>/*.conf) works.
