This may be a good way for the geeks among us, but this is not the way
how WordPress is usually installed.

I would estimate that 98% of all WordPress installations are just the
contents of the WordPress package in der DocumentRoot or a subdirectory.
And this is also the way how the documentation (readme.html and
http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress) describes the
installation.

I don't want to nag too much about this, I just wanted to ask in how far
it is planned to have some sort of standardization with the files in the
base directory. (The reason is that I actually have recently released a
WP upgrading plugin, and of course I want it to be future-proof as much
as possible.)
