Personally, I don't think it's worthwhile. These files are still not built in the FSF tree. Until they are, I think they have the moral equivalent of a changelog entry that says "New file". Once they are built, naturally, they'll be change controlled like anything else. Just my opinion. -- Daniel Jacobowitz
