Since the linked instructions advise to set a HOME environment
variable, the changes are irrelevant. The changes are only to the
default value of HOME if the environment variable is not set, and even
then have been done in a way that is backwards compatible for people
who installed a previous version of Emacs or are following
installation instructions for a previous version.
