the traditional starter kit configuration files

Traditional in what sense? Is emacs-starter-kit considered a must-have?

I didn't meant it literally, but in case newcomers are tempted to try this new release, they might want some dotemacs files to play along.

It's been around for about 3 years and is the most widely known Emacs setup out there. I guess this is what "traditional" means...
