Well, in my case since the only auth method used is md5 the order
really doesn't matter. Besides the point that each combination of
dbname and username only appears once.

But for a general use feature I can imagine it would be a concern.

This is not an important feature for me though: the config file is
generated by puppet with a bunch of loops and an include directory
would not really reduce the amount of work.

Have a nice day,
