I must have misinterpreted the purpose of this URL, then. I thought that
was the configuration of _this_ instance, and that I could use the path
indicated by `mainrepo` to replace the `/_/text/config/raw` part of the
URL to get to the repo URL.

Is this just a template file, then?

I have no idea what purpose they serve, so I have no opinion on this
question.
