I think the argument is that it keeps as much as possible common
across all users (who use the labs distro), and keeps the site specific
stuff seperate - thus replica can overwrite the common files easily
when part of that changes.

I guess you could say that its a workaround for the lack of a merge option
in replica/pull.

I don't know if this is the real reason the ". config-a" files where added,
but its how I saw it.
