Yes, to ease maintenance.

Hum, what about a small 'generated files' text file in directories, then? That 
would list files made from models. Of course this would add many text files 
around...

The drawback of adding models to arch tree is that it will grow up a lot - 
Blender files are quite big (min 100k per file). So people will need time to 
get'em... Also collect script will report many junk files (scripts we can of 
course tweak to ignore those files ^_-)
