So, as per the documentation https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/customizing.html#customizing-with-matplotlibrc-files

It searches for 4 places. The 4th place is actually "INSTALL/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc, where INSTALL is something like /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages"

Since upstream kind of supports having matplotlibrc as a global setting, I am having second thoughts if we should just keep
`/etc/matplotlibrc` as that is the right place for system specific config files to reside.

We are also installing /usr/share/matplotlib/matplotlib.conf/matplotlibrc but I am unsure how useful this is.

Could someone advice?

Best,
Nilesh
