Configuration data doesn't change a lot, and people like to put it into Git, etc. Application session state is a different beast, and is something that Emacs has lacked a convenient interface for, so each package has come up with its own way to store state, or more commonly -- not bothered, because it's so much (boring) work. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
