Hi Nicolas,

I like the direction of it.

The idea of having separate conf.avail and conf.d is that sysadmins can
symlink/unlink entries into conf.d to enable/disable configuration for their
system.  This would only work if upgrading fontconfig/fonts rpms does not
reinstate the unlinked symlink.  However, last time I checked this was not
working correctly.  Can you check this first?

Thanks,

behdad
