Thanks, after a world testing, there 187 binary rpm packages have this issue
(have /etc/foo, but no CONFFILES set), how about we do this as Debian:
1) Treat all the files under /etc/ as CONFFILES
2) Move the files out or /etc/ if it is not a conffile
3) If the file /etc/foo is a conffile, and is changed during runtime,
    then create a symlink /etc/foo -> /var/foo
