Come on ... it's a joke - and it belongs in JOKES.
Besides, I strongly doubt many people would browse etc/ for
interesting stuff - in particular if you use a pre-installed
emacs not many users would be looking in /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc
(or whereever it is located).
That's also why binding C-h j to show the JOKES file would make sense.
And C-h D to show etc/DEBUG for debugging.
