I'm not sure what exactly you're proposing each one to be, but they'd probably match up at least partly to the XDG directories. I personally like "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs", it makes it easier for me to copy a single folder of configurations between computers. -- noah ~ distinctly.pink never stop stopping to smile at the flowers -- Email domain proudly hosted at https://migadu.com
