Chris I don't think it is necessary for a production unit. Meaning a system that is running a machine but as in my case where I have several installations on the same machine. I use this machine to develop configs and test new features and whatever else I have to do with LCNC. Like if a person ask me to help with a config, I will copy it to this machine and test from here. Or when I start e new conversion, I first write the config on this machine and then when I am done, pull the latest LCNC from either 2.5.x or from master and then put the config on that machine. So in my case it is better if I have the config stored in the same location as the release that I am using.
To be honest, it would be nice to have but I am sure we can live without it. Don't want to make more work for you.
