Really? Do we even know that the system uses XDG before doing that?

People were already confused about ~/.emacs and ~/.emacs.d, and now this third thing just complicates things more.

For people preferring to maintain the Emacs config in ~/.config, they can probably create a simple symlink to there from ~/.emacs.d :)
