I'm all for getting everything out of root that is possible. Looking at the ASL 2.0 license, http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 , I can't see anything that would require the license and notice files to be in the root, so I don't see why they couldn't be placed in the / docs directory. Others, of course, my see something different or feel we are better served with them being in their current location.
As the originator of the ticket in question regarding placing the config file in /user by default, I see it as a good move that should ease upgrades, since it's one less thing to watch out for when upgrading. It should also make backing up one's site easier, as well as allow one to move one's blog more easily, since you can just grab the /user directory and run with it. Having to manually move the config file once during this update is worth the future benefits.
