The line I am talking about is still there, towards the top of the  
registry.php.dist file, along with comments about what it is used for.

Sure. Agreed. Though this process is only required for people that  
want to run the development code, out of a git checkout, or want to  
otherwise put the app directories somewhere non-standard. Honestly, we  
would expect someone running code directly out of a git checkout to be  
able to handle something like this, especially since we provide  
instructions on how to do it.

The release, of course, will not require this.
