Do we even know that the system uses XDG before doing that? People were already confused about ~/.emacs and ~/.emacs.d, and now this third thing just complicates things more. For people preferring to maintain the Emacs config in ~/.config, they can probably create a simple symlink to there from ~/.emacs.d :) > > --000000000000ee0f800591572ae9 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
