But sure, that was all we got from Unix, so I guess that I will have to agree that we have seen two standards since 1969. > I'm sure they will invent something else in a few years, which will of > course be the best thing since sliced bread. Well, sure. OTOH, it took 15 years for us to warm up to the XDG BDS enough to introduce xdg.el - and it is still at least somewhat controversial - so I expect that we will not see any rush to implement the new standard either. ;-)
