What about .emacs.d/backups? ~/.emacs.d is quite common, containing  
default.el, auto-save-list or such. It could also  be home for  
session and desktop files, private Elisp ...

BTW, I'd prefer to have the options of "traditional" and unified  
backup. And probably it would be a good idea to have another choice  
between flat and in a tree "unified" backup.


Why is it such a huge problem to make a complete proposal?
