what's the purpose to scaffold a tsconfig.json in the root dir?

[royling]

With the version 1.0.0-rc.0 of cli, a tsconfig.json is created in the root dir. Is this intended or a bug? Also noting that there are different config json files created for app/spec/e2e respectively, which are very clear.

• src/tsconfig.app.json
• src/tsconfig.spec.json
• e2e/tsconfig.e2e.json

ng --version output:
@angular/cli: 1.0.0-rc.0
node: 7.5.0
os: darwin x64
