Should addon_config.schema.json and addon_info.schema.json be Combined?

On the wiki, the example config.json contains fields from both JSON schema files. I see on the older wiki, these were split into info.json and config.json. Should the schema not be one file at this point?

They are separate because the config.json is read by the language server and existed before this repository or the addon manager. When the addon manager (and this repo) was being made, we needed a bit more info on the addon, like whether it includes a plugin, and the total size of the addon. This info needed to be accessible via Git without cloning all of the addons in order to read their config.json (so they couldn't go in there). So the info.json was born and lives in LLS-Addons. That way, when this repo is cloned, you can get the basic info of every addon, without having the entirety of every addon installed.

Note that the LuaRocks installer does just use one file (the rockspec), but it also doesn't store and advertise the size of an addon or the presence of a plugin.
