Running `:help 'exrc'` in vim includes the text:

         Setting this option is a potential security leak.  E.g., consider
         unpacking a package or fetching files from github, a .vimrc in there
         might be a trojan horse.  BETTER NOT SET THIS OPTION!
         Instead, define an autocommand in your .vimrc to set options for a
         matching directory.

So I don't think it's a good idea to encourage people to do that by 
using a name that invites it. Also I think that the file would be more 
discoverable for people to incorporate into their own configuration if 
not named as a hidden file.
