I think we have a zen rule about this: Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. (And I know what the next rule is, but I don't think it applies here. :-)

As I said on the issue and in response to Benjamin's question, I prefer to have it appear near the top of the directory listing even when other non 'testxxx' files are added. I don't think that's a strong enough reason to give the name a non-alphabetic prefix. Please just use README.txt. As I explained in response to Antoine on pydev, I do not like generic README and would prefer a more specific name beginning with 'A'; however, I will just delete the '@' in my next patch, which will fix the one buildbot breakage.
