Also, you probably do not wish the file to change when you switch branches with different upstream baselines. Or deal with possible emacs version dependent changes. I do like having the example in the kernel tree, but let the users deal with actually using the file. Placing the file at the top level makes it harder for users to have a file of their own there.
