+1

> The "single config file" pattern is quite useful for simpler configurations, but the directory-based ones becomes especially useful when looking at cluster configuration management tools--stuff that auto-generates and composes config settings (ie non hand-curated configs). For example, the conf.d configs can support each middleware config or background daemon process in a separate file. Or server settings in one file and common logging settings in another.

Also +1

And a final +1. :)
