Then move the stuff that isn't about configuration into a different
folder.

    Should I file a new bug report about that?
    I don't think that any files that are non-end-user editable should be
easily accessible by the end-user. If I press Ctrl-H, or even if I don't, I
don't want to see anything that I didn't put there or that I can't open in a
text editor and easily understand.
