Hmm, why ? Where should it be then ?
Having sample config in such a directory has a pretty long tradition.
One thing that comes to my mind here is Debian.

Gee, thanks !
You know how many man-weeks (err, months ?) I've been putting into it, right ?

I guess I hereby declare that I'll stop ALL documentation work.
Obviously it's not too appreciated, given the constant and very annoying
whining. Not to mention that I've been constantly working "behind the fact".

But maybe then it seems like I didn't...

Boy, that'll give me quite some free time for RL work...
