I agree that the scaffolding app should stay as a *.w2p. I also agree that a name like scaffolding.w2p would be more appropriate (not template.w2p since we call template something else).
Nevertheless we cannot name and location of files that are documented in the book. What if we create a mechanism so that when admin starts after an upgrade, admin prompt the user for upgrading admin, welcome, examples? This could be easy to implement.
