I've send now this patch:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/82384/

It takes care that the propose job will succeed if .tx/config gets
updated. With that change in, we can add .tx/config to any project as
convenient.

So, now I'm in fine with adding .tx/init back in.

Daisy, are you happy as well?

Andreas
