Ask HN: Buzzword for *.d directories?
Does anybody know buzzword for configuration directories AKA .d-directories, which is suitable for googling?

May I suggest the #linux channel on irc.freenode.net for questions like this?
or superuser.com ...
I am leader of national Linux user group (http://linux.org.ua/) . What I should say on #linux channel or at superuser.com?
Currently, .d directories are referred as "configuration directory" in manuals, in opposite to "configuration file" (.conf). See man modprobe.d for example.
But I need a word to popularize this style of configuration. ".d directory" is bad name for googling.
Maybe Dot-D-Dir (DDD) or Dot-D-Configuration-Dir (DDCD)? But these abbreviations are already taken. :-(
