It is not OK, to introduce this without discussing it on the list though.
Luckily, we have a method to resolve a controversy and that is to let Eric decide.
I think we should give him maybe a week, and only if no reply the patches should be reverted.
(With possible resubmit, if Eric comes back later with ACK)

An alternative way of handling the problem is to have TWO trees.

The package tree remains as it is, and then we have a second tree
which contains the configuration files (make & config files) 
and and subdirectories showing the structure of the configuration.
This tree could also contain html documentation of each link.
The second tree would not contain any
