I'm in favour of CLI (platform parsers, probably) deleting this www/config.xml that they don't use. It's a waste of space and has confused people in the past.
It even confused the iOS prepare code and caused that odd "my project doesn't work if it starts with x, y or z" bug (because xFactor/config.xml sorts after www/config.xml, and it was blindly taking the first one).
