a few lines in the SPEC files %install section would simply
remove the folder and this files - i know a lot of mysql
setups and have never seen one with includes and if
so then they would be created by the admin

in case of server software it is generally annoying
if random config snippets which may come with updates
change the behavior

the same affects /etc/php.d/ and /etc/httpd/conf.d/
install a package on a production server does usually
NOT mean "hey i want to have this enabled now only
because the package is there"
