There is one thing that might still need to be corrected for this patch:

If a distribution uses the "conf.d" directory in order to override  
settings from "conf.php" and has the admin section enabled then it  
might be confusing to the admin user that setting certain values in  
the admin interface seem to have no effect.

On the one hand the admin section does not read more than the conf.php  
file. So anything that is set in conf.d will not be displayed in the  
admin section. And if you change a value that is being overwritten in  
conf.d then changing it has no effect.

I would suggest that we add a notification in the admin section that  
gets displayed in case the conf.d directory holds php-files. It should  
indicate that there are files present that override settings visible  
in the admin view.
