Before I point out that the current betas have all previously been

of the vote to split the httpd.conf into conf'lets?
Several folks argued strongly against multiple conf files on list,
pointing out that's where we came from (srm.conf/access.conf) and
what we, once upon a time, had retreated from.
First, you are working from a faulty assumption. We do not have
multiple conf files in 2.1. We have a single, short and simple config
file, and a directory with a bunch of examples for more complex
configurations.
It was discussed extensively, including, for example, the thread
starting here:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200504.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I did not see any objections to this structure after it was clearly
explained and understood, and certainly no vetos.
If people are concerned (as I am) with new users getting hit by
death-from-a-thousand-config-files, then I wouldn't at all object to
replacing the commented-out Include's at the bottom with a simple
comment telling people to copy-paste the example configs in at that point.
