I've thought of the same thing, but I feel that the horse has well and truly bolted, run back through the barn a few times, kicked some shelving over and then continued out the front and over the horizon at a brisk pace.

The ideal solution is a migration path; retain support for config in project root, but check a configuration directory first.

Workable. It'd be nice to clean up the global namespace a bit. Especially when it's a single-repo project.

I think you'll want to check the root first then config to avoid breaking existing projects, but I'm a big +1 on this idea.
