I don't think so. VDR has two types of conf files, but they are:
- Files that are editable via OSD
- Files that *should be* editable via OSD
Well, then the vdr has a third category of conf files:
- Files, that are written without user interaction
and such files are *definitely* *not* config-files, even if they have conf- extension. Some folks called such conf-files databases. Handle the writing of conf-files by user interaction (OSD or replacements) could be wrapped by a write-enablement-script or function, so config-files could stil reside on RO-media.
From my point of understanding, the FHS discussion is not focused on the config-files, that could not be managed by OSD, but is focused on the point, when config-files are written.
