That's an interesting idea, and probably worth pursuing, however, it
wouldn't serve the CK's purpose. He's been getting involved with most
of the projects that I've started over the years. There are several files
(which he mentioned) that make repeat appearances in these projects, and
there are already dependencies between projects, leading to duplicate files,
and the namespace resolution hassles that follow.
Each project has its own svn repository on sourceforge, so many of these
files have been duplicated, which is not so great. It hasn't been that
big of an issue (though definitely an annoyance, and occasional configuration
management problem), but now that I'm not the only developer, it makes sense
to pull them out into a single repository.
They're not really meant to become some sort of official standard, although
since I use them all the time, I wouldn't complain if they did. :)
