Searching for `.emacs.d' on EmacsWiki, I see that it tells users = explicitly not to do this (for exactly the reason that your user found) = in the sections describing startup files, the first two results: emacswiki.org/emacs/DotEmacsDotD emacswiki.org/emacs/LoadPath Seems like good news. I also found a couple examples of people doing it = (TimAnderson, ExtraLicense) in the first page of search results, which = is less good news.
