Re: emacs v28.2 creates some times on exit previously deleted ~/.emacs.d

After spenting a couple of hours on my issue with eln-cache creating
.emacs.d (thus breaking my effort to use a ~/.config/emacs) i found
that in bug-gnu-emacs there was a small discussion one year ago about
where should eln-cache put its files
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2022-07/msg01120.html

So so far it seems propable to me that there is eln-cache is breaking 
the functionality mentioned in
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Find-Init.html

There ' says:
Emacs can also look in an XDG-compatible location for init.el, the
default is the directory ~/.config/emacs. This can be overridden by
setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME in your environment, its value replaces
~/.config in the name of the default XDG init file. However ~/.emacs.d,
~/.emacs, and ~/.emacs.el are always preferred if they exist, which
means that you must delete or rename them in order to use the XDG
location.
