Didn't look at the 2.8 changes, because with 2.8.4 it is still O.K.
This change in example config didn't hit me then - as we provide no way
to update the examples yet, I don't update examples in my config space
for my stable production environment.

hey, updating classes/examples would be really cool!

let's think about again of letting the FAI_CONFIGDIR start with a
directory of classnames, so classes are not spread all over the
configspace, but in a single directory hierarchy. That way, users can
swap classes much more easily, packages can be easily updated. If we
have a better place for our config dir, we could even pack classes in
packages, so they get individually updateable, installable, shareable
between users and developers!
