Nope! Based on everything I've said in this thread and in the
documentation I linked to, I would be strongly opposed to anything
extra created outside of the application files main path.

Uncommenting this block means that we're saying
sites-available/default should become a place for applications to put
generic snippets and trust that we'll always make sure they work. We
can't guarantee that the snippets will never change unexpectedly.
Additionally, it's possible administrators would want to
control/modify sites-avail/default and still want to include the
sub-directory hosted applications. On top of that, it would be pushing
the use of php-fpm where I would personally prefer uwsgi. I've already
explained why I feel this way. Regardless, it shouldn't be my
preference or anyone else's that gets to make that call.

For my alternate suggestion, I offer the documentation that I wrote
and linked to last night. ;)

If you're looking for more immediate discussion, I am on #debian-nginx
on OFTC as well as #nginx on freenode.
