Or maybe we can just instruct people to use kcreg? In this way we don't
need to worry about copying keycloak.json anymore.

I got the same impression, with the quickstarts. But at the same time,
it's easier for people to see what they did wrong. Instead of providing
it by default. I believe that's the reason why it wasn't added before.
