Comment 8 for bug 780177

Yep, personally I don't think having it in the db is a big deal, but I'm not too fussed about making it compulsory in config.php either.

I should say though, we currently get very very few people who change sites and then complain on the forums about their wwwroot being broken. But way back before Nigel added that automatic generation, we got lots of people, mostly on shared hosts, who wrote to the forums because they couldn't work out what their wwwroot was.
