Howdy,

Well, my point is that *neutron-server* can be called with several configuration files[1][2][3] as arguments like 

$ neutron-server --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf --config-file /etc/neutron/ml2.ini --config-file /root/experimental.ini

Which depends on the needs of the user.  Usually these are stored in the same configuration directory but there is no guarantee on that.  The other thing that I was thinking is that given that neutron has a pluggable architecute maybe there are config values that define folders to load configuration info, something like *api_extensions_path* which defines the place of the extension classes.

    Hm. I don't understand. With config-dirs, the service automatically 
    reads also the extra files from the directories.
    Am I missing something?
    
    Best,
