Where to stash mailreport scripts?

[beerguzzle]

I wrote myself a shell script that I put in /root (I login as admin) for mailreport to run for me daily, summarizing the previous day's filter logging. I also copied /usr/local/bin/filterparser.php to /root/myfilterparser.php and modified it to my own needs for the shell script.

Question: is /root a safe place to put my own stuff, where it will not get zapped by upgrades?

Traditionally things were put in /conf for that because, many years ago, it was shared between boot slices. That doesn't apply any more but custom files are often put there. I would expect /root to be fine though, I've had custom things there for years.
