Just out of curiosity, why is it the opposite of a standard if its configurable? XDG home seems to have a sane default of .config, but also provides configuration with the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable. To me it looks like thats part of the specified XDG base directory standard.

It can hardly be considered a standard location if you literally make it so people will consider putting it wherever they like.
