But there is nothing related in those two statements.  It would be
equally true if you put your customizations in differently named files
under /etc/httpd/conf.d and in directories under /var/www/html.   The
difference is that anyone familiar with the standard layout could look
at a system and understand it quickly where your non-standard
locations would have to be carefully documented and a new admin would
need to waste time figuring it out.
