On a more serious note, this is why we use FSVS to version control
everything under /etc, /usr/local and a few other things on our machines.
- I can do a diff and see everything that I've changed in the config
file between the original install and now.
- The use of commit comments gives me a place to explain why I was
making a particular change (in addition to putting a comment into the file).
- I have a timeline of all changes that I made to the server. That
gives me a range of dates if I need to go back and look at my SSH
session logs.
- It functions as a rudimentary tripwire, or at least tracks all changes
in the directories being version controlled.

Same here, and for the same reasons, though I use CVS.

After spending some time on (What I guess is FSVS
home:http://fsvs.tigris.org/) I still don't know what it does that
makes it any better than several other vcs systems.
The Purpose statement is pretty thin.
