Home is used for too many things: configuration, personal data storage,
caching in hidden subdirectories, etc. It will take time to sort this
out, but I like the direction, including read-only for the configuration
stuff.
It's probably worth coordinating with other ideas for renovating home,
such as

Different objectives, but also interesting ones, and it would be nice if
all that would end up being compatible.
Cheers,
Konrad.
