Having these non-dot-files in the root directory for just specific
closed source tools feels a bit wrong to me.  I thought all of these
tools were standardizing on "use README" and didn't need these extra
helpers?  The fact that most of them just contain README seems like
that's the case, they just need to work it out somehow?

Anyway, I'd not like this patch to be added (patch 1/2 is great), as it
feels like these agents need to get their act together in ways to not
need these, we shouldn't be forced to deal with their inefficiencies.

thanks,
