The second one says: ,---- | As discussed previously, /usr/share/texmf/web2c/* probably must stay, | but the dvips, xdvi, and perhaps texconfig subdirectories can move to | TEXMFDIST. `---- This still applies, at least for texconfig (which is why I reassigned to tl-base). The older one points to the fact that when tetex or texlive install files in TEXMFMAIN, this is a violation of our own policy. We also say in policy that we intentionally diverge from what upstream does - so that is not an argument. I have no strong feelings here, and I think there are much more important things than to care for this now. I don't think we should just close it, though.
