sshd /etc/ssh directory

sshd /etc/ssh directory

[NightStrike]

Most GNU/Linux distributions (and openssh by default I believe) use
/etc/ssh as the directory to store host keys and default config files.
Cygwin uses /etc, creating by default numerous files in the top level
/etc directory.  Is there a technical reason for this?  Is this
something that could be considered for changing in the future?

I'm not exactly in a hurry to do that.  Pushing files into subdirs of
/etc is mostly done to keep /etc itself clean.  In contrast to Linux or
other systems, Cygwin's /etc isn't *that* populated.
