I am one of many people who was confused by this change as well.

I agree that we should (at least) give a warning during startup. If you believe it's too easy to miss it, a y-or-n prompt notifying ~/.config/emacs creation would be much better, though I might be asking too much.

I don't think it will be an annoyance, because this warning/prompt should only occur in the first ever startup of Emacs, prior to creating any configuration file. If configuration exists either in ~/.emacs.d or ~/.config/emacs, the user should never see this message again.
