No, sites-enabled and conf-enabled will co-exist, The former for virtual
hosts and sites, the latter for global configuration directives like web
application configurations.

This is not different to the state being. It will just be possible to
/disable/ such configuration snippets similar to modules and sites on
purpose. That is, the user will be able to do a2enconf/a2disconf
some-file which will do a symlink magic similar to what we do today for
sites-available/sites-enabled.


This transition will need to be done manually (for files which reside in
conf.d today), but I wrote a script which can automate the procedure. We
just won't (can't) call it by policy on upgrades.

Stefan, I am thinking about enabling the conf-available/conf-enabled
mechanism in 2.2 already, altogether with conf.d. What do you think
about that? That way people have 3+ years to get used to that.
