That being "why didn't grep find a reference to these fragments?" It seems the ".config" extension is optional? This seems inconsistent at best, to reference some files with the .config extension and others without it. Not blaming you for that, but it is probably something that needs looking into. I am fine with dropping this config frag patch as we figure that out.
