Same.

Yes, we could add a new directory.
It seems to me that very few things would be in a directory for
meta-Emacsey things. The only other file I could think to add
font-locking for is COPYING and perhaps DISTRIB (as those are reachable
from the splash-screen). Maybe the tutorial could use some font-locking
as well, but we could put that in tutorial.el.
Another idea is to add, on the same level as progmodes and textmodes, a
new directory "display-modes", in which we would put modes that are not
really meant for editing. I can see several modes that would in
principle fit in such a directory: help-mode, tabulated-list-mode,
world-clock, etc. (There would be no immediate need to move anything,
however.)
Or, you know, we just live with having it in textmodes. I don't think
it's too bad, all things considered. We are talking of a very small
number of files here, and it's not like we add new textmodes every week.
Worst case, we move it later; it's small enough that convenient access
to its git history is probably not even a concern.
