incrond should accept only certain incrontab filenames (e.g. SOME.conf) #27

IMO it would be very helpful if incron accept only certain file names - perhaps names with '.conf' suffix, as is usual with files in X11/xorg.conf.d, dovecot/conf.d, exports.d, modprobe.d, php.d, httpd/conf.d, rsyslog.d, sane.d, sysctl.d, tmpfiles.d, udev/rules.d and others.

Yes. This needs to be changed, and here's why: If anyone uses vi ( or vim with backup files turned on ) to edit the file, the backup file which is left behind {filename}~ will also be processed as an incrontab file. This has bitten me and others at work.
