The previous location wasn=E2=80=99t perfect, but the proposed one isn=E2= =80=99t great either: one can generally assume =E2=80=9Crm -rf ~/.cache=E2=80=9D won=E2= =80=99t lose anything that cannot be reconstructed, and the log is something that cannot be reconstructed. Do the XDG spec have something else that might be more appropriate? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
