these files show up a lot when doing development on qemu, hence i think they do 
make sense to be listed here.  it also makes things "just work" for all users 
rather than requiring every one to set up their local system in the same way.  
plus, that would conflict with repos that do want to merge these types of files 
(uncommon, but not unheard of as test inputs).

it's not like entries in this file "cost" anything at all.
