cron.d comes with a completely new idea of splitting daily, weekly
and monthly. This justifies a name change.
namedb (name database) wasnt changed and should stay as it it IMHO.
IŽd also accept if the name for namedb would change, but I see
no real reason for it and some disadvantages:
- It would cost extra work in the documentation area
- would possibly break shell scripts for customers because
the base dir changes
- people are simly used to have a /etc/namedb, why break with
old traditions for no good reason.
