Hmm, I guess that should indeed be updated by someone who knows how to
actually do it now.

... I have never seen that. But I never used the auto router.

This is the one I kindly asked if you would convert. So it should be
deleted in the kicad source repo (product branch).

I think Orson converted this to asciidoc quite a while ago, so the
markdown version can also be removed as far as I know.

It guess it is ok to keep the documents such as build-config.txt in
the source directory. It is usually not interesting for the end user.
