Comment (by Rarst):

 > Now that we have develop.svn (which was helped along by a need for root
 files like composer.json), that objection no longer stands, as the
 directory structure is designed for root files like these.

 I am not confident we are on same page here. What do you mean "designed
 for root files"?

 For automated creation of packages versioning is derived from version
 control heads, which have `composer.json`:

  - `trunk/composer.json` turns `trunk` SVN folder into `dev-trunk` package
 version
  - `tags/3.6/composer.json` turns `tags/3.6` SVN folder into `3.6.0.0`
 package version
  - and so on

 I am not sure which distinction you imply between "old" and "new" repo for
 this purpose, since the desired result is same - `composer.json` present
 in root of WP core files.
