So you've changed the system for your personal preference versus
existing conventions.

Are we going to see lots of other local changes to the system
for this /etc/conf directory, without at least some discussion
and consensus?

That's a silver lining I suppose :)

Well, if I was to, I'd be suggesting /etc/raid.d/*.conf just to follow
existing practice within the system.

That doesn't invalidate my feedback; not all of us can keep up with
every change in real time.
