The new module-init-tools 3.8 package changes the location of the

I think that they are not ignored this release, but a warning gets printed
about them every time a module gets loaded. So how about:
Warnings are now printed about files without a .conf suffix in
/etc/modprobe.d as these will no longer work with the next release. This
will generate a lot of output on bootup if .pacsave files are left in this
folder.
Too long, how about "Files in /etc/modprobe.d without a .conf suffix will
be ignored in the future."
I noticed the warnings too, so will anyone else.
Just out of curiosity, why was that change made?
Isnt it a bit incosistent to all other *.d's? pacman.conf isnt in pacman.d,
logrotate.conf isnt in logrotate.d, rc.conf isnt in rc.d etc.
Are there plans to move those too?
Upstream decision
