 As a developer
 I want to put data in my VCS
 so that any developer can access this files.

 - Currently wp-content/uploads is something no one wants in his VCS.
 - Storing everything in wp-content is a complete mess.
 - We could allow a messy folder in something like "wp-content/data".

 If this becomes a preset in WordPress
 and rule of thumb, then I am sure that most installs will become cleaner
 and easier to maintain.
 What plugins currently do is a complete mess. As a develop I don't want to
 enter the wp-content directory
 and find a list of storage dir for each single plugin.
 I just like to see:

 - plugins/
 - themes/
 - languages/
 - the theme compat thingy/
 - data/
 - uploads/
 - index.php

 This is already enough.
