I'm not sure if I understood correctly.  You mean to put only the
build files, auxiliary files (README, INSTALL, etc.) and ChangeLog
into admin/reftex?

What I dislike about it is that the files will be scattered throughout
Emacs' repository.  This makes fetching the "package" RefTeX from CVS
much more complicated.  And with the branch it would get even harder
if people want to fetch a development version.  Also stuff like `C-x 4
a' won't work with such a file layout and a single ChangeLog file.
