hashbangctl.conf can't be stored in shell-etc because it contains a secret.

Maybe this isn't that big of a deal because who cares about that file anyway, right?

But nonetheless, I'd like to see all admin-tools type stuff store all the secrets in a way that allows uses to have maximum visibility into /etc.

For many years, users on many *nix boxen have been able to read all the files in /etc that weren't explicitly verboten by permissions. With a little work, we might be able to get back to that.

Well, I don't get the part about “able to read all the files in /etc that weren't explicitly verboten”: hashbangctl.conf is explicitely forbidden.
However, I can look into splitting off the secret into a separate file while working on #3.
