13 The files were named local.{start,stop} but the message you quoted shows
14 that these are no longer the case. The files you have are your old
15 baselayout1 local.* files moved from conf.d to local.d and given a name
16 that shows where they came from. The local part of the filename is no
17 longer relevant as the directory name makes their purpose clear. Also, it
18 means you can have more than one file, instead of having to cram several
19 unrelated steps into one script.

21 Give them names that reflect their contents, it will make managing them
22 easier.
