Wait, hold on... if the purpose of @sample is to automatically create 
real.conf files and delete them when appropriate, without end-user 
intervention, then end-users should never be interacting with .sample 
files in the first place.

The goal shouldn't be properly-named .sample files, it should be never 
clobbering conf files and ensuring that end-users never have to copy 
sample files themselves. @sample should strive to always be MORE 
permissive, not LESS!
