Actually, you could have named it ANYTHING.conf Apache is only "seeing" files that end in .conf as per your include directive:
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf So, if you want to disable a site config called example.conf, you can do so by renaming it example.conf.disabled and reloading Apache. Also, if you make a backup of example.conf as example.conf.bak, then Apache won't load the (redundant) backup configuration.
