The last sentence I agree---it is really not a big deal. But if the thing is rarely changed, more likely people would forget to update one when changing the other, wouldn't they? In any case, either the dontdiff and mrproper are maintained separately or not, I am in favor of having dontdiff in the kernel tree.
