The files that change the most are the `lib/` and `test/` files. But they are not given the "prime real-estate" of top-level files. Rather they are categorized into an allotted subdirectory. (Interestingly C projects actually do put source files at the top). So why are config files, which rarely change once properly configured, always in our face? And if that wasn't the point why are they more often dotfiles which are intended to be *hidden*? Maybe if they were actually hidden, but except for using `ls` every other tool I use pretty much shows them. So they aren't really. In the end I'd prefer to see a dedicated directory that became the convention, and baring that at least just stop with all the .dotfiles and Configfiles and just use regular old files. Let `Gemfile` be `gemfile.rb` and `.yardopts` be `yardopts.txt`, etc.
