Since arch general is under moderation, I forward a mail to this list.
Instead of shooting the developer/s who introduced the concept
of drop-in directories IMO an announcement would be appropriate.

The link to the complete message:
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-proaudio/2018-September/000201.html

So at least an announcement via
https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/arch-announce should be considered.
