As more and more tools have become best-practice when authoring npm modules, from package.json to .*rc to *file.js, the root directory of projects has become a very loud place. This dot-noise pushes README content farther and farther down the main page of git repos.

What if the above could optionally be simplified to the following?

This is a simple example and that's already about a 30% vertical space savings. I started the conversation over in the npm repo, but I'm also submitting issues to the findup, findup-sync, travis-ci and zuul repos.
