Well, that's exactly the point: if, like the dump suggests,
condor_config.local is read after config.d

then whatever junk may have come with the last yum up'd
condor_config.local will override your robust and modular local
config.d. Or you have to maintain all three sets of config files:
global, local and config.d -- I fail to see an improvement there.

Make your local config 0 bytes and do everything in config.dÂ

Modular configuration vs. monolithic configuration is a big win in my view. I'd much rather drop a zzlocal configuration file that overrides anything others might put in place, then edit a big, impenetrable configuration file.

No matter what, you You have to maintain a global config , if you make that minimal

(basically say that is should process config.d)Â then you are just maintaining a configuration directory

(something I'd much rather work with).
