Now you mention it, you're probably right in that it could be moved to
eg. /installer.php
OK, so I'll ask here on the list: is there any reason we shouldn't move
[root]/mw-config/index.php to [root]/installer.php?
Well, Platonides already gave a reason:

No. The installer is on its on folder on purpose, so that you can delete
that folder once you have installed the wiki.
It is also arguably easier to understand for non-tech users to
navigate to the "mw-config" directory compared to the "installer.php"
file
(though that's a minor difference, if any).
There's also an overrides.php file and an mw-config/index.php5 file.
If it were just "installer.php" it'd be equally easy to removed as the
directory, but since there three files,
(one of which depends on another, so if you'd just remove installer.php then
you're left in an unclean state where hitting installer.php5 will cause an internal
server error clogging the php error log).
… which brings up for how much longer we should keep that *.php5 stuff around…
But before more bike shedding (have we had enough these last 2 months yet?), is there a
problem with having a directory?
