This is incorrect. It can be anywhere in the configuration metadata.
bitbake.conf includes a variety of config files, not just
distro/machine. Read that to see other existing files which get
included. Further, you could create a .conf/.inc which you include
from your machine .conf, if your goal is just to avoid duplication.
