Red Hat based systems?

If you mean SUSE (as well as some other rpm based distros) they actually do that correctly and do NEVER EVER overwrite user-modified configs.

SUSE only once in three years overwritten modified script somewhere deep in /etc/sysconfig - because I didn't found proper place where to put customization - otherwise it all was cool.

As special feature from leader of OSS technologies, RedHat not only overwrites your scripts in /etc - it also overwrites your configs. Always.
