--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Re 1) 

We don't like implicitly reading whole directories because it's easy to
surprise oneself through misconfigurations like forgetting a path
component.

OTOH adding wildcards for the hostfiles is possible, though a fair bit
of work because of the multiple contexts in which they are loaded.

Re 2)

We don't want to make any configuration directives additive.
