I think noone ever agreed that installing user changeable configuration
files was a good idea and .sample files or include folders are both
prominent and widely accepted solutions. However this only ever entered

I'd prefer to keep the discussion on topic and avoid the million
"I agree" posts on something no one ever disagreed to.
