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.
