torrc.d is comming

Should we suggest user use a separate file /etc/torrc.d/bridges.torrc as configuration file? Or a more general question: should user use /etc/torrc.d/ or /etc/tor/torrc ?

Advantage:

  1. The torrc configuration is more modularized ;

Disadvantage:

  1. torrc configuration will be more scattered. Sometime users may forget they put a .torrc in /etc/torrc.d/ which they do not want anymore.
  2. Although torrc.d feature is available in Tor stable now, it has not been decided by Debian on which directory to use as default torrc.d directory.
