Welcome to Trac @littlebizzy.
As @Presskopp said, the file has been called sample
for many years and as it's only intended to serve as a basis to create an actual config file, it serves no other purpose after that so there's no need to change the name to something different. Once it's been used to create a config file, it can be deleted (although you'll need it back to regenerate a new config file of course).
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
sample = specimen/pattern
So I don't see a huge benefit renaming this after almost 15 years
