That's not what I get out of the discussion thread. I believed we
settled on One File because that's the patch Amit wrote, and a patch in
the hand is worth two in WIP.

That assumes that the only reason we have for a conf.d is to support
auto.conf, which I don't agree with; I personally have a need for conf.d
which has nothing to do with auto.conf.
