Sorry, but I am still not quite sure what consistency you are referring to. I also do not see a reason why we want to stop referring to .gitmodules explicitly by name. We do not hide the fact that in-tree .gitignore and .gitattributes files are used to hold the metainformation about the project tree, saying that it is an implementation detail. Is there a good reason why .gitmodules should be different from these other two?
