Personally I'd leave it.  I'd rather search for something inside a big
config file, instead of trying to find the file containing the info.
And I don't think it's too cluttered yet, by any means.

If someone does move it, the setup program AND the
upgrade-to-a-new-release process will need to be changed.

I don't see a need for a change.
