rather than renaming all the config files to have a common extension and only loading those files with extension the correct extension the preferred model would be to utilize enabled,available directories. The filenames would stay the same as would the practice of loading every file in the enabled directory. But the enabled directory would contain only symlinks. However that would still probably leave the problem of editor back up files and the naive admin who might copy a file (which invisibly would be a symlink) to a backup name.
We already have that particular problem with -enabled/ but it's confined to the realm of really sloppy admins who forget to edit in -available/. This is still acceptable and alleviates the original problem sufficiently, and it requires no code changes, just the default configuration changes. IMHO just changing modules to the -enabled/-available scheme would be a good first step and it should be done first, in 2.1.10 or whenever. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
