I've suggested using symlinks, for the cases in which external programs (not
using kconfig) are looking for these config files in a hardcoded way... To make
sure nothing breaks. these symlinks would only appear for people who migrate
from a previous version, and it's very easy to clean up. Conversely, they are
also quite easy to create if needed, and most people would probably not use any
such external program... So I don't feel strongly about it either way. 

I was just addressing the concern that things might break if the config paths
are changed, and I think my original suggestion is addressing any corner case
that may arise.
