I'm only a fan of "foo.d/*.sh" (or "foo.d/*.conf",...) lists.

A number of .d implementations (used to?) try to source absolutely everything in the .d/ directory. They miserably and sometimes mysteriously fail on .orig and *~ backup files, *,v histories, RCS/ subdirectories, etc. etc.

I am with you on this.

I have hit this bug more than once but that was long ago. Things seems to have been fixed since then and require a special extension to be included.

I personally like this way of changing the configuration because it's quick to see how the system differ from the stock configuration.
