You might wan't to make it .edit or some other 'hidden' dir instead. It
might save you some problems in places like profile.d/ or cron.d/ or init.d/
that itterate through all the contents of a directory. I can't think of any
actual instances that would be a problem becuase _edit_'s a directory and
not a file.. but something to take under advisement. :)
