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.
