Yes, if you have custom hackery that can't be committed or configured
(or put in daily.local) and somehow the only such custom hackery you
have is to a handful of files currently in /etc.

Again, how about some examples? We're talking about modifying one of
the existing operations, rather than adding a new one (which could go
in daily.local), and a modification that's so thoroughly local that it
can never be of use to anyone else and doesn't make sense to commit a
way to even configure it... to one of the very prosaic operations
currently in /etc/daily, /etc/security, and /etc/weekly. The more I
think about this the more I wonder if the set of such modifications is
even nonempty.

So again, how about some examples?
