bower 1.0: what's the deal with .bower.json?

I just upgraded to bower 1.0, did a bower install and found a bunch of new .bower.json files (note the leading period).

I found no references to .bower.json on the changelog or in the docs. Am I supposed to .gitignore these? They look very much like the original bower.json without the dot plus some extra metadata.

You can't delete them because Bower uses its extra metadata. It was decided to leave the original bower.json file untouched and create a .bower.json one instead.
