How may I determine if `mod_mime_magic` magic loaded for `httpd`? [on hold]

I cannot tell if the mod_mime_magic httpd module is loaded or being used. When I run httpd -l and httpd -M it doesn't show up in the lists, but I am not convinced it's not loaded. The package manager used to install it adds a file called magic in /etc/httpd/conf, which is the default file location corresponding to the MimeMagicFile directive for mod_mime_magic.
LoadModule mod_mime_magic shows up as a line in the file /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf. The Fedora 28 web server docs seems to indicate that the configuration files in conf.modules.d load /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, but it's not clear if this is the default is active on installation or if it must be configured to load things from conf.modules.d by choice.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Don't have a hostage syndrom, not you were bad, the site is overmoderated. It is a structural error in the whole SE.

Unfortunately, also a third "leave closed" vote arrived, thus the vote resulted a "leave closed" decision. The next step: edit your post. Not only its title, but also its body! Make more clear, what exactly you want to know about this. "mod_mime_magic" is not a "magic file", it is an apache module. If you want to know, if it is used for anything, then the answer is: YES. It decides from statically served files their mime type. But wtf is this version control thing et al? Are you version controlling your /etc? If you now edit your post, a new reopen vote will be started, where the people

The answer will depend on the size of your estate, the consistency of the environment, any automation tools...
For example, a large centralised team may use tools such as ansible or puppet to perform "configuration management".
Small teams where every server is uniquely configured may want to use a version control system.
Other teams must just rely on backups.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution.
