Reminds me of another gripe I have: Rails puts a README in the generated app directory. It's not worth it IMO. I wish they'd get rid of it or change the name, or failing that, GitHub would detect unmodified Rails READMEs and screen them out.
By the way, I think abandoned README-only repos are a side effect of something useful - attempting to start new projects on the right foot. I think starting projects like this probably does more good than harm, overall. :)
Sweet!
