I thought it was, based on Davids post from earlier. I know Debian moves
them to /etc/postgresql-common - but they move a lot of the things around.
I didn't realize the RPMs did something similar. If that's the case then
it's definitely wrong to say that. I guess I haven't been using the system
wide one on RedHat.

So yeah, in that case, then it's clearly wrong. But the current docs saying
it's in etc/pg_service.conf is also wrong for almost everything in that
case, so jus the pg_config mention seems right.
