 I suspect the ''conf.d'' directory breakdown style configuration files is a bit of a legacy hangover from where the configuration files also effectively included many comments and commented options. Breaking into smaller files helps navigate this style of configuration.  The past 10+ years where search engines can be used to easily find configuration information and example configuration files the fully documented configuration files are no longer as necessary.  A single simplified configuration file with reference to online help files makes more sense and is easier to navigated.  I prefer the single file to multiple files. I suspect the ''conf.d'' directory breakdown style configuration files is a bit of a legacy hangover from where the configuration files also effectively included many comments and commented options.
