Apache once had this structure, starting with 2.4 (Jessie) it changed to
    /etc/apache2/conf-available
    /etc/apache2/conf-enabled
and it doesn't have conf.d anymore.
Apache then loads everything from /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/*.conf.
Admins are exected to put their stuff in conf-available and then run
`a2enconf confname` which creates a symlink in conf-enabled to
conf-available (then, I hate doing that and I have my ansible role just
put my conf files in conf-enabled).
Note that for apache files in those directories are not expected to
define virtualhosts.

I find apache's solution very sensible, actually.

Also apache's conf.d has been there for a very long time, but it simply
went away :)
