1) I am sorry, but I need to disagree with this one, personally. Check
duplicates could be done by a util at any given moment if it becomes a
pressing issue.

2) Not for me. I prefer hierarchical dependency based inclusion

3) It does not apply to my taste due to 1-2).

I would also like to add further detriments:

4) file rename could rearrange the list with your suggestion.

5) It would be inconsistent with a large code base out there.
