I would add a more general reason which is that this kind of |
| 9 |
"something.d" config files are much more invasive than others, and |
| 10 |
thus should always be optional. Adding a config file in an |
| 11 |
/etc/something.d is just like merging some config changes in an |
| 12 |
/etc/something.conf without waiting for the user to do his |
| 13 |
"etc-update". Take for instance someone who has a logrotate |
| 14 |
cronjob for some of his log files, but not the apache ones because |
| 15 |
for this ones he has very special needs and scripts: if his next |
| 16 |
apache update blindly installs a logrotate.d file, he may not |
| 17 |
appreciate it at all... |
