Answering my own question: it was done in response to a valid request for an "include" directive for sources.list. See #66325, which asks for, and provides reasonable reasons for a "include" directive... but people got sources.list.d/ instead, which is a lot more difficult to keep wraps on. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
