  No, they're there because it's typical vendor-maintained machine.
And vendors usually care to get there stuff done quickly, not
correctly or beautifully, and possibly have their weird ideas/requirements
how stuff should be done. (And we know how it ends - following this
special-attention phase, one sweet day vendor moves to another toy,
and dumps previous one completely, for user community to cleanup all
that "speciality").

  So well, given speciality of OpenMoko itself, I don't dare to commit
changes to their machine configs, but intend to prepare patches with
extra care and submit for Graeme's review.
