One of the reasons why I want to enforce this is because it makes it
harder for external entities to find things.

Imagine this in dhcpcd.conf

pidfile /foo.pid
leasefile /lease.foo
controlfile /ctrl.com

And starting dhcpcd

dhcpcd --configfile /abc

Taking all that into account, how is dhcpcd-dbus supposed to talk to
dhcpcd? By this I'm talking about out of the box config.

I have also written several scripts that try to extract this information
from ntp, wpa_supplicant, dhclient and many other programs and it's not
pretty and is prone to breakage.

Good. I only feel it's fair to explain why also :)

Thanks
