<p>At <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://doc.powerdns.com/recursor/yamlsettings.html">https://doc.powerdns.com/recursor/yamlsettings.html</a> it says:</p>
<p><i>Starting with version 5.1.0, in the absence of a recursor.yml
file, an existing recursor.conf will be processed as YAML, if
that fails, it will be processed as old-style configuration.
Packages will stop installing a old-style recursor.conf file and
<b>start installing a default recursor.conf file containing YAML
syntax</b>.<br>
</i></p>
<p>[my emphasis]</p>
<p>Does this mean that going forward, the configuration file should
preferentially be called "recursor.conf" rather than
"recursor.yml", even when it's in YAML format?</p>
<p>The reason I ask is because if recursor.{conf,yml} in YAML format
has a "recursor.include_dir" setting, then it only looks for files
called *.yml in that directory. So it seems to be a bit odd to
use recursor.conf but *.yml for all the others.</p>
