[opensuse-factory] Why separate dirs for: /etc/apache2/ssl.crl ssl.crt ssl.csr ssl.key ssl.prm?

Devs,

Posted to user list but Per and I are still scratching our heads.
(well, I
don't know if he's scratching, but I am...)


Why does opensuse use separate directories under /etc/apache2 for
ssl.crl
ssl.crt ssl.csr ssl.key ssl.prm? Why is that any better than say putting all
the certs in /etc/apache2/sslcerts?

After all, the dirs are just option in
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf,
example:

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/server.key

so why have 5 directories if 1 will do?
