The major implication is that it is up to you to adjust SA to find your
rules in their non-standard location.

There is nothing special about local.cf.  It is just a standard place
for you to put your changes.  All .cf files in the directory will be
read in alphanumeric order and the later files will override the earlier
files if there are any conflicts.  Using a file such as zzz.cf would be
a good way to make sure your changes are read last.

Of course, it doesn't make any difference if you are trying to override
the standard rules.  They are all read first anyway.
