cnitool actually requires you to use the .conflist extension, with .conf 
you get errors.

Hi Benjamin, Qian,

I am just trying to stress that this is not default behaviour and thus 
not expected. Major implementations like apache httpd and sysctl are 
ignoring other extensions. 
To me it is irrelevant if this currently documented or not, or easy to 
adapt to. One should follow 'standards' as much as possible.

Hi Marc,

I guess Qian was confused by your email body containing no question.

To answer the question from the email’s subject:

> Is it not time the cni configuration dir loads only specific
extensions?

I would say, no, it is not. The current behavior is documented, pretty 
simple for both users and implementors (e.g., no need to handle multiple 

possible extensions), and not unusual since a non-vanishing number of 
tools would also try to load all files from a specific directory.

Additionally, changing what files would be considered would be a 
breaking change for little benefit.



Cheers,

Benjamin
