The lpe-skeleton one is something Johan created as an

I'd vote for leaving it there since similar files - most notably, sp-skeleton.(h|cpp) - are also in the source tree. Also, it's much easier to grab it from the working directory when needed than copying and pasting from the Wiki (where it can easily be overlooked). I'd even say that its use is not only instructional since it prevents prevent people from introducing bugs at a stage when they are probably still unfamiliar with the framework.
Although I did not find sp-skeleton.cpp until after I wrote my first SPObject, I thought it good to have such a file, so a made lpe-skeleton and the wiki points to that file. The nice thing of having it in the core codebase is that it is actually built against real Inkscape code, so we are certain that it actually compiles.
