As far as I understand, Benno already excludes some files -- so extra
files could also be excluded easily.

Not sure about these though, e.g. they could help someone realize they
need to contribute/develop it elsewhere. On the other hand, we could
have a custom one in the kernel instead, explaining just that.

Up to Benno!
