What is the advantage to keep name significantly different from "postgresql.conf",
rather will it be not helpful for use if it is similar to "postgresql.conf"?

How would user correlate auto.conf contains configuration parameters set by Alter System command?

I had kept persistent.auto.conf based on suggestion in this thread that user can easily correlate it with
SET PERSISTENT command.
So based on that theory I think it would be better to name it as System.auto.conf or Postgresql.auto.conf
